Top Ten Idents.
All idents finished and selected now, this being the final one, i am pleased with how they have all turned out, i could have tried some different techniques but with the time left i don't think i would have done much better.
Finally finished my 3rd Ident, had a little trouble as posted below but managed to fix everything, i particularly like the simplicity of this ident, especially with the music, with a lot of discovery science ident's there programmes don't have a great deal going on, so this one fits best of all in my opinion.
Finishing touches to my second ident, this time in keeping with the title sequence design i have kept flat colour and simple graphics, including one image of a lizard hand, i also included a numbers effect as the line draws from finger tip to finger tip, showing the length, again another very simple effect but used in the right context looks quite effective. i have happy with the way this one turned out, an will probably use it in my final 4 idents.
Starting with my first ident, i felt i needed to mix up the designs with some imagery, just to give a different feel to it, still including my timeline.

Silent Movies.
My final selected Silent movie projects.
Having revisited this brief after learning much more with after effects, i came to realise that with simple definitions of words, should come simple concepts and designs, minimalism within after effects can be very effective, given that what your doing is well considered and you make the movements needed as realistic and as well thought through as possible, I decided to make them as simple as possible in order to not distract the viewer with too much going on.
Snap.
1 / A redesigned version of my initial ideas, using larger letters to give a clearer design, and making a few minor adjustments such as, the letters snapping as each letter hits it, and using colour in a more specific way.
2 / A newly developed idea, using the letters in half entering either side of the screen quite fast and connecting in the middle whilst transforming to italics due to the speed, i have fiddled with this design quite a few times making minor changes with colour and composition, deciding weather or not to use black, i feel the white alone gives enough impact.
3 / Another new idea, this time working with the P as though it is attached to a hinge an whilst the letter comes to a sudden stop the P i snapped and left to swing underneath the letter, i am particularly happy with the pace and movement with the swing in this motion graphic, again using simple flat colours to gives the best impact possible.
Bounce.
1 / One of my very first ideas for bounce re - created with a more crisp feel to it, including the easy ease technique which benefitted this project more than other, the easy ease, gave the O the perfect effect of somebody on a trampoline gaining momentum, and slowing down as they reach their peak, only to speed up again when approaching the bottom.
2 / Perhaps my favourite silent movie, due to the really animated feel to it, this video reminds me of the pixar ident with the lamp shade jumping on the 'I', again using easy and another warping technique for the 'B UNCE'.

Final crit
Final crit.
Today in pairs we went round our table of 6 and assessed everyones work, i received some helpful feedback which will benefit my project from here onwards, things like including sound, furthering story boards and finalising videos.
I also created a short action plan from now until next week.
- Add sound to video
- Further storyboards
- Create an additional 10s.
- Apply scanned Images.

Boards.
Today in our crit we presented our ideas and boards to our groups and
discussed any changes that need to be made and ensured we had considered
all areas that needed to be, unfortunately my idea had changed around
11 o clock last night, making it difficult for me to redesign my boards
in time, i explained fully my idea change and answered any questions
that were asked.

Timelines.
Positives / Negatives
After completing are final task for Fred's session before finishing for Christmas we were asked to write a list in our groups of 5 / 6 discussing the positive and negatives we found when working with timelines using more than 5 frames.
Positives.
- Considering the time as apposed to frames.
- More idea generation
- Improve drawing skills
- Better understanding of the use of pace
- Realising blank frames are important.
Negatives.
- Develop ideas through the timeline not in your head
- Deciding where colour use is appropriate
- Not enough room on the timeline
