Green Screen

We booked out the photography studio last week in order to do some green green screen. Last week I got some walking sequences done and I filmed the noose hanging. However, today I green screens the objects for my title sequence, here are some pics from today.

Music Video ABC

This is a video which I found on You Tube. It's a music video which explores similar idea to the ones that I want to use in my title sequence. For example using text within the t-shirts.

Incedental Typography Tests

I decided that I wanted to do some tests which allowed for type to be shown incidentally. So as elements passed each other whole words would be spelled out.

For example, in this clip below the text from the cover of one book would align to form the rest of the word on the other. Below is a quick test that I did using footage and then edited in After Effects.



Same again but different book and different text.



Here is a test using the idea of people passing each other with carrier bags, (very rough test!) Here the text is on the carrier bags and as they meet they show the writer of the TV Show.



This test below shows the idea of someone walking down the road. On the wall there are fly posters and as they pass the posters text on their t-shirts and text on part of the posters will meet to spell out a name. Here I have used a photo of a guy, however this element would be filmed on a green screen background. This means that I could then put it on top of a photo which has fly posters on it.

Spooks

These are the opening titles for the BBC series Spooks. A series about the MI5 security series. Being a series that I enjoy watching I thought that I thought that it would be a good one to take a look at. Also it is created by design sompany 'Why Not Associates', a design company that I enjoy looking at and have looked at previously.



Take a look at their website: WHY NOT ASSOCIATES

I really like the way that animated elements have been integrated into the sequence. I like the way that the animated elements seem to tie everything together. Definitely something that's interesting to me because Im considering how to tie stuff together at the moment.

Audio Consideration

I got given this piece of music the other day by a friend and thought that it could work really well for this piece. It's intriguing, whilst being mysterious at the same time.

Hot Fuzz Titles

As I'm looking at Crime Dramas in terms of title sequences I have decided to take a look at the titles for Hot Fuzz:



I decided to look at the titles although there comical in style because I think that there are element that I could consider in my sequence. The sequence is very faced passed and has narration to tie the sequence together. This is interesting for me, because at the moment i'm considering the way in which I can tie different scenarios within my sequnce together in order to make then flow.

Big Draw

We were asked to create stings for the Big Draw Event in Manchester. Stings, which would be broadcast in between the live interviews and prerecorded footage on the day. Here is the piece that I created:



This event is on Friday the 9th October and it looks like were all heading down. So post to follow on how it goes sometime soon!
