Simulated Client Project: Method

KEN BURNS EFFECT


I have decide that I shall employing the 'Ken Burns Effect' to my hand drawn animation to add an additional depth and animation technique.
Below is a video tutorial as to how the effect can be employed to Jpegs or any still images to create a dimension of animation, this will be in addition to the hand drawn animation I have produced.

Simulated Client Project: Stills

Here are a few stills taken from my simulated clients project. 


The animation is centred around the lives of three characters who grow up together through live. The animation pays special attention to the statistic '1 in 3' individuals will suffer from some of cancer in their life time.

Doritos and Pepsi MAX Comic/ Advert Campaign 




I came across this advert for Doritos and Pepsi MAX completely by accident, and although campaign seems a little desperate and needy, the overall animation is actually quite nice. 


I had already decided that I had wanted to implement the Ken Burns Effect before observing this animation, however I think that this animation nicely employs the technique. 

Simulated Client Project: Storyboard

After revising my idea for the Simulated Client Project I have had to quickly develop a new storyboard to accompany my idea. The story board is detailed below. The idea is that through creating my hand drawn illustrations some of my drawings will be physically drawn animations, and some of the animation applied through After Effects which will assist in the narrative of the piece.

Simulated Client Project: Leaflet Prototypes

As explained earlier I would like my film/animation to be accompanied by leaflets to ask for donation, or to thank members of the Alumni for donating. 


Below are two rough prototypes for leaflets to be sent with any correspondence of which I hope to insert a still from my donate and thank you film/animations.
