Headroom.

Nice simple video, with a considered use of colour and composition, really starting to appreciate the flow of movement.

Zombieland.

Completely relevant brilliant use of typography in this comedy film 'Zombieland', the typography is used mainly for the '32 rules to surviving zombieland.

This film is a Comedy piss take of all the zombie films out there, it uses a simple list of 32 rules that will help keep you alive if there were to be an outburst of zombies.

Although disgusting each piece of typography is individual to its own purpose as a rule, really simple and creative ways are used with each piece, here are some of them.


Cardio.




Enjoy the little things. 
 


Seatbelts.



Limber up.



Double tap.

Nick.

Some really interesting idents from nickelodeon, relating closely to the silent movie breif due to the letterforms creating them selves through means of simple adjectives, i.e. inflating , connecting.

The same things were looking at, obviously a lot more complex but the concepts behind the designs aren't far off.

Pixar.

Some great inspiration from pixar for bounce, and a childhood memory, as soon as i received bounce i instantly thought of this advery. the momentum of the bounce is amazing, i hope to perfect the bounce technique by the end of this module.

Moshun.

Another motion type video, very similar to an alpha blocks animation i found a last month, i much prefer this one due to the parts of the letter form working to create the letter form itself, again this animation uses really nice fluent movement.

Resonance.

Resonance is the vision of SR Partners; a collaborative project with over 30 independent visual and audio designers / studios. The aim was to explore the relationship between geometry and audio in unique ways.


Definitely hit the nail on the head with this one, this video is one of my favorites so far, exploring each shape individually and using some really interesting movements of line and composition.

Imagination.

Very creative video i found by Monica Kim introducing interaction between the animation and her hands, this gives the video a completely different perspective and feel, it almost looks holographic, the way the type moves is something i could consider, maybe expressing the word bounce on a string as apposed to on the floor.

Kyndill.

The use of colour, pace and simple shapes through this animation grabbed my attention from the very beginning. The beautiful flow of all the objects through time and the graceful way each part reacts accordingly with other has really inspired me to take much more care with pace and interaction in my animations.

Statkraft.

A simply information driven animation using all the techniques we have been looking at with after effects, perspective, 3D imaging and moving around the animation fluently.

Senkyou.

A Music Video for 'mergrim' lovely flowing animation with interesting sharp movements something i'd like to use with 'snap' i particularly like how you see the full transformation of the shape the whole way through and how it explores all possible options of how to manipulate a simple shape such as a square.

Skateboard.

Looking into different objects that are renowned for snapping i came round to watching this stupid kid breaking countless skateboards. It me quite a few interesting ideas for 'snap' the i'd like to try and incorporate the movement of a kick flip into one of my animations.

Telitriumph 2011.

A series of motion graphic i came across for what seems like an award show, each clip being introducing an award, i feel the simplicity of these and the concepts behind them are really engaging but i was a little disappointed with how disorderly it seemed.

IDILL 2011.

This long animation has given me an interesting idea for 'bounce' to almost shred the letter forms and have each section bouncing into place.

Sky, 1. 2. 3.

Sky 1, 2, 3 Idents all using different creative approaches to idents, although i appreciate the ideas and feel their done really well i much prefer simple idents that use less for instance the new channel 4 idents using nothing but negative space to create the letter forms gives a much more crisp and professional feel to it.

Syfy.

A little more complicated this time, but with a simple concept, i really like the idea but dont really see it relating much to the channel i feel the unfolding could have been done a lot smother and maybe even slower, even still the animation has a nice crisp finish.

Pixar.

Who could forget this little gem, pixar's ident used for as logn as i can remember and still a wonderfully simple idea, great for kids and an interesting use of interacting image with type.

Channel 4.

Due to their unique logo channel four can and have manipulated it to its best for over 20 years now, these simple but effective idents were way ahead of their time back then using really creative and innovative ideas.

Discovery Science. 2

Another simple ident for discovery again the most appealing aspect of these for me is the simplicity, its not fancy and jumping out the screen at you but it doesn't have to.

Discovery Science ident.

A nice simple text over image ident, the text interacts beautifully with whats happening in the video, i think what i like the most about discovery's idents is the legibility of them and the clear crisp use of type and image. Due to the fact that most things for discovery are informative and explanatory they use very simple clean layouts for every thing and the use of text is usually similar to a manual of some sort, i'm looking forward to using these techniques in my animations.

Unfortunaley due to this video being a JW flash player video i cannot embed it.

Discovery Science Ident.

Discovery Rebrand.

We have been asked to choose a TV channel which we would like to use for our next brief 'Top Ten' One of my favourite Channels if not my favourite is definitely Discovery. Lucky for me Discovery has just undergone a Re-brand for all their Idents which i think use some really creative and innovative ideas here's a small compilation of some used.
