Today we were assigned teams for our next project which is a 30 sec explainer video about whatever topic we choose. Raechel and I are going to start using our wordpress blog to explain and show our process for this new project. Here is a link to it.

Week 9A
Today we critiqued our Logo videos. Overall the class seemed to enjoy the video of the Wicked Pissah. The things that my peers seemed to point out was the fact that an underwater sound or bubble noise would definitely bring together the entire video. The other thing is to make the tail flip more fluid by putting in another transition tail. I hope to adjust the video and re-post it as soon as I get the chance.

Week 8B (outside of class)
So here are my adjusted projects. I couldn't find my rhythm one (unfortunately) and due to the fact that I only had a limited amount of time to redo these adjustments, I just worked on my message in motion and the dream animation.
Here's Message in Motion;
Above is the first version I changed. I totally deleted the previous video that I had. I did my best to edit out all the frivolous movements and the changing backgrounds. I tried to keep each scene of words at the same timing. In the end it was still kinda missing it's message so I took the feedback that I got and changed it again by changing the color of some of the words.
So here is the second final version;
Here as you can see, I added some color to make some words blend in and others stand out. I adjusted the words mouse and peep to a lighter version of the pink background to make them soft (like their meaning). I also changed the color of Mariella to white so that you could see the "I" in it. That shows how the person singing the song wishes to be more like the confident Mariella.
Second is Ryan's Dream;
The first one was way too all over the place, and I agree after watching it again. It's just really hard to keep up with. So I got rid of the word movements but I kept the bulk of the image movements. Here it is.

Week 8B
So today I changed a bunch of things in the beginning of my 5 second Wicked Pissah animation.
After talking to my professor we both agreed that there was something stiff about the moose as it entered the screen. I needed to add some physics to my loose mermaid. SO! What I did was make the moose dangle diagonally on the hook. Then from there, as the mermaid is landing on the "ground" it's tail bends and then it straightens up. At first I just made the tail go upwards and flip a little as the words "The Wicked Pissah" came down. Then after talking to my buddy Raechel, we figured if I added bubbles at that part, it distracted the viewer from the random flip of the tail. Making it more fluid.
I also wanted to explain the title of my logo "the Wicked Pissah" because I feel when people read it, they feel awkward. Pissah (pronounced piss(ah)) when something is a wicked pissah, it's totally awesome. It's nothing even close to being a cuss word or anything negative. It's just common language in New England. I created the wicked pissah because of my family (who is from New Hampshire) and saying something is a wicked pissah is just an everyday thing.

Week 8A
During class, I added bubbles and adjusted the moose's arm and tail animation to make them pop and bounce to show the family friendly happiness that the words do when they come into the screen.

It's not 100% done. I would like to explore putting in sound, like underwater noises to really complete the animation.

Week 7B
Today I had to figure out how to use the puppet tool in order to animate my moose (to keep the logo animation fun and interesting). I went on youtube and found a few very helpful tutorials to give me tips.
May not be the most professional video but it made learning how to animate more fun for me.
After watching this, I broke my loose mermaid (Lobster+moose= Loose) into a body(head and chest), arm, and tail (using different layers for different parts) and did exactly what the video told me to do. I've finished the first cut of my video and just have to edit it some before I am finished.

Week 7A
Today was our first real workday for this logo animation. Here is my storyboard for "The Wicked Pissah".
In the end, my animation is going to be a bit longer than 3 seconds, but that's only by around 15 frames (half a second). The description of what I plan to do is in the images.

Week 6: Outside of Class
1. What type of logo did you choose?
----I chose a logo that I made myself in my Typography I class. It's a restaurant brand which is like a higher end lobster shack. It would be the equivalent of a Red Lobster.
2. What type of company is it and how can that be brought to your animation?
----This company is a New England company that is family friendly and kind of quirky. That can be brought to the animation by making the words bounce down (fun/friendly)and make the Loose mermaid actually move and bring it to life.
3. What context will the animation be in?
----I feel like this could be used anywhere, but mostly in commercials on TV before and after a program.
