ASSIGNMENT 1: BRING TO LIFE

In this assignment, we are required to create a simple typography animation using our initials that is around 5 - 10 seconds long. 


Trial 1

During my first run of the assignment, I used my first name and surname to create the animation. I did not have a sketch at first as I thought I could do well without one. But as I continued, I realised I had no direction of where I wanted the animation to go. I had a vision in mind and just looked up for a tutorial on what I wanted to do.

Trial 2
After my first consultation, I realised that I was required to only use my initials. After my first trial I have decided to do a sketch beforehand. This helped me to further ease my process when creating the animation.

My concept with this was to have the initials move from one side to another and leave a trail behind. I also wanted to make it look like a retro TV with the iconic opening and closing animations.

Final
I had some issues with the animation. But they were soon resolved with a consultation with my lecturer.
1) I found it to be kind of bland
2) The letters shrink a few seconds into the animation
3) There was no audio

1) To fix the problem of it being bland, my lecturer suggested me to put the animations into a new composition and to mess around with it. I ended up using only two initials and increasing their sizes to fill up the whole space.


2) This problem was fixed by increasing the scale of the composition during the time when it shrinks. 

3) I added some retro TV audio as well as the sound effects for the opening and closing TV animation.
