Show Package Project | Final

This is the final version of my project! Please note that I removed some of the blur effects from the last version and I changed some of the animations.

I think my biggest challenge with this project was time, and in the future I would like to return and make a more professional piece than what the final turned out to be.

Show Package Project | Storyboards

For the show package project, I created three separate storyboards. Each story board focuses on a separate part of the project, and has numerous treatments for the idea.

Lower Thirds:

I played with the idea of many different things happening in the "lower third." I experimented with the idea of a bone falling into the page, but decided this would not be a proper banner. I also played with one similar to National Geographic's style. I played with the idea of having a paw print, but my professor asked me the question of the meaning of the pawprint. To her question, I came up with the idea of creating the documentary called "pawprint" as in, a documentation of how dogs leave their paw prints on us as humans. We also spoke about the idea of bone being on the left side instead of the right, so we do not have a weird open ended space if text is not long, ie, see the right bottom frame for the demonstration.

Background:

In the above storyboard, I have demonstrated what elements will be necessary for the background. I like the idea of the paw prints being left by a dog, and therefor that is how they will animate onto the screen. This background will be a huge starting point for where the photo comps and transitions will come for. The paw prints will move in this way and create limited space left over. For transitions / bumper, the paw prints could potentially enter and exit in the same way. For photo comps, the paw prints would enter the same way, but their will be intentional open space. A collage like image will enter, shake slightly, and then there will be room for the text for explanation.

Introduction / Title Opening:

The storyboard for the Title Opening was roughly drawn quickly. I have decided that their will be footage of puppies playing or dogs interacting with humans. The footage will fade to the blue screen, and then the paw print background will begin with minor adjustments. White cut out pictures to form a collage will appear on top, entering the same ways as paw prints and creating their own motion. From there, everything will exit the screen, the viewer will be left with one (1) singular paw print. The title will then enter from behind the paw print.

My only question is how to have the text organically enter around the paw print without being geometric and angular.

Show Package Project | Inspiration and Visual Research

For this project, I have completed some visual research for documentary show openings, bumpers, lower thirds, ie.

Mentioned in a previous post, here is the commercial I created for my basic motion graphics class. It is a commercial for Pony Tails Kennel. I created this commercial with absolutely no experience, I was in my second semester of college.

I would love to use some of the elements from it for my project.


The following are images from a national geographic bumper. I believe this may be more of an opening for a national geographic documentary premiere. I tried to get images that would show the animation. I like the way the words come in from the left side of the square, and this could be emulated with a pawprint. https://vimeo.com/235266910

 

Here is an example of a student work lower third. This would be for a creepy style show. I like the simplicity used. There is not a lot of animation used here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWoTbM0r9GY

Here is another example of lower thirds. The youtube video includes many images behind the lower thirds with unique ways they could animate in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfkhFcAX1IY

Another example of student work. I loved the animation used in the example, and may try to emulate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfjOWGFlBrs

Show Package Project | Project name and definition

Project Name: Show Project - Working Title

Definition: This project is to create a series of deliverable for a show of our choice. In class, we had the option to do documentary, award show, or entertainment/news. The project must include the following deliverables - an opening / show title, a transition (named Bumper), and graphics. The graphics include an animated lower third, animated full screens for photo comps/info slates, and a looping background. Unlike previous projects, are duration is depending on content / readability.

I have chosen to create a documentary style show project for a kennel website:

www.ponytailskennel.com

For a previous motion graphics class, I had chosen to create a commercial for Pony Tails Kennel. I will include my commercial under my inspiration post. During this time, the website was created using pink and green. We have sense chosen to create the website using blue and purple, so I will probably be focusing on using these colors. I also want to focus on creating dog bones, and paw prints for the imagery and background images.
