Art Gallery idea

The idea behind this concept is the viewer is being taken through an art gallery containing some of the world's most recognizable and popular art, the reason i have chosen such recognizable art is because when someone views the channel when channel surfing they will instantly know what the channel is about. The animation ends with a framed picture of the Sky Arts logo, which keeps the idea in the realm of the gallery but at the same time informs the viewer that they are watching Sky Arts.

Fixed

I realize I've already uploaded this, but It was sped up for some reason previously. I have since worked out how to time stretch and make compositions longer with a simple mouse click.

A bit more Rotoscoping

I really enjoy rotoscoping, so for one last try I wanted to rotoscope over my mouth and the the sound back in i was miming to, i think it works pretty well but at the same time looks a bit clunky.

More Rotoscoping

This is a clip i filmed on my webcam, just moving my hand around randomly.

I use Photoshop to draw over each frame of the video in 3 different video layers, one for the outline, one for the colour and one for the highlights. I think this is very effective, i just now need to think of a use for rotoscoping within my ideas.

Theater Idea

When i came up with my early ideas, one of them was my logo on stage idea. I quite like the idea so I've been thinking of how to expand upon it to make it much more interesting. One of my idea's is to still have the logo on the stage rising up, but to have the text and stage itself changing through time. So for example, in 20 seconds it will go from ancient Greek theater to modern day theater but also using fonts from the time. I mainly got this idea from when Matt showed us stop frame animation on Monday by Barry Purves entitled "Next".

What inspired me was how it seamlessly switched from scene to scene.

This is a film tralier that Matt showed us that uses rotoscoping, it looks incredibly stylish.

This was my attempt at rotoscoping on After Effects using my tablet, i used red so that the lines would stand out more, i think it's a start. However this 3 second clip was very time consuming and would make me consider starting an idea extremely early to give myself enough time to perfect it.

Monday the 3rd's lesson and research

Monday was extremely helpful, it thought me to take a step back and think about why i am doing what i do rather than just doing it, this has made me consider why i have chosen my early ideas. I was asked why i chose the ideas i did, and to be truthful my family has had sky in our house for over 10 years, so it's almost been nailed into my what skys theme is always trying to portray. However i cannot get through this brief just by saying that, i need to evidence and use examples. I asked Matt where he thinks i should start my research and he replayed with this website:

This website is amazing and packed full of research. I've watch all their videos and it's clear to me that the adverts designed for say Children are very laud, bright, in your face, more often than not contain silly jokes and what is popular to kids at the time weather that be action games or TV programs. Channels more catered for adults on the other hand usually have slow panning cameras with either something completely random happening like BBCs theme, which is a circle with either hippos or deer moving to create it, or it's something you have to look for like in channel 4's branding where bits of buildings are floating and you have to look for the logo. Channels also seem to change their approach in different seasons of the year. Looking at these videos it gives me many more ideas to play with.
