Doppler Effect.

Another path i could take the colour selection with, although there is quite a lot of information and not many visuals to take from this so i'm unsure just yet.

A blueshift is any decrease in wavelength (increase in frequency); the opposite effect is referred to as redshift. In visible light, this shifts the colour from the red end of the spectrum to the blue end. The term also applies when photons outside the visible spectrum (e.g. x-rays and radio waves) are shifted toward shorter wavelengths, as well as to shifts in the de Broglie wavelength of particles. Blueshift is most commonly caused by relative motion toward the observer, described by the Doppler effect.

In physics (especially astrophysics), redshift happens when light seen coming from an object that is moving away is proportionally increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum. More generally, where an observer detects electromagnetic radiation outside the visible spectrum, "redder" amounts to a technical shorthand for "increase in electromagnetic wavelength" — which also implies lower frequency and photon energy in accord with, respectively, the wave and quantum theories of light. 

Light waves.

Trying to think a little more outside the box for colour i chose to look into Light waves due to light being the things that creates colour, or what is known as visible colour, there are actually a much larger range of colours that we ourselves can't see but do still exist.

Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light has wavelength in a range from about 380 nanometres to about 740 nm, with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz. In physics, the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not.
Primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second (about 300,000 kilometers per second), is one of the fundamental constants of nature.

Light, which is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as the wave–particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

Orbit.

Researching shape brought me into thinking about shapes created by moving objects i.e. paths, and i feel one of the most interesting types of paths is Orbits, some planets in orbit draw almost perfect circles, i would love to explore this idea further but i feel i have pushed designs for outer space a little far, so if i can find another path way i would prefer to take that other wise i will further research into this area.

Bats.

Again looking at sound, this time a more natural approach, Bats are blind and only fly at night, by the sound of it pretty useless creatures of flight, but fortunately due to millions of years of evolution bats have developed a technique called Echo location.

Echolocation, also called biosonar, is the biological sonar used by several kinds of animals. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and for foraging (or hunting) in various environments.

Super Sonic.

Looking into sound for our current Image brief the book fair, after seeing sound as one of the four pathways, i instantly thought of the physics of sound and the sound 'Barrier'.

Sound, has laws of physics like everything else in this universe, these laws restrict the speed of sound to 1,236 kmph / 768 mph at sea level, with sound having this sound barrier it means it can be broken, and as with every rule humans discover we felt the need to break it, this could be an interesting route to take this brief, i have realised recently, i am hugely drawn towards taking my projects in the direction of science and physics.

Soundtrack.

Bonobo - Black sands a really relaxing soundtrack from Bonobo, with a very natural feel to it, the track does become rather busy at times, which may not be easy to fit the movement too, but i would only use the intro looped due to some unnecessary  parts in the song.



Another minimalish song, this time from Eliphino, without the vocals this soundtrack could work quite well there are some interesting sounds, a few electronic sounds that work well with the information side of the motion graphic.  

A song produced by maya jayne coles, really nice beat again quite minimal and simple, with a steady beat, this style would definatley be suited to my animation.

Storyboards. Interactive Idents.

Starting fresh with a new approach to my video's, this time looking into a more interactive feeling video, with a computer feel, taking simple steps such as things clicking to take you the next section of the motion graphic, i feel this style will benefit my project due to the information feel.

Cloning Lizard.

Extremely interesting new lizard i stumbled across today, a Cloning lizard found in Vietnam.

Instead of reproducing this lizard clones itself, if there was ever and evolutionary attribute this has to be it, through finding this lizard i have already had millions of new ideas for Idents and my title sequence.


You could call it the surprise du jour: A popular food on Vietnamese menus has turned out to be a lizard previously unknown to science, scientists say.
What's more, the newfound Leiolepis ngovantrii is no run-of-the-mill reptile—the all-female species reproduces via cloning, without the need for male lizards.
Single-gender lizards aren't that much of an oddity: About one percent of lizards can reproduce by parthenogenesis, meaning the females spontaneously ovulate and clone themselves to produce offspring with the same genetic blueprint.

I'll be gone.

Soundtrack i have decided to use for my top ten project, i feel this songs fits really well due to the simplicity at the start, then the progressive 'evolution' of the song.

The reason i particularly chose this song is the feeling of growing as you listen to it, the soft piano keys create a beautifully progressing melody, also many of the key elements in this song when played along side my video create a nice opening for me to introduce the info graphic sections of my animation.

Lineposters.

Lineposters sells modern graphic design interpretations of large intercity transit systems, it is a collaboration of a graphic designer and an engineer.

A simple creative idea and a wonderful piece of inspiration for my Top Ten project, using two flat colours for each poster representing the city gives these posters a strong impact and a clear view.
