MA Graphic Design: Brief 4.

My First Film...

For my final brief in Year 1 Graphic Design: Visual Communication I had to remake a title sequence of any chosen film - I chose "I am Legend" (Maidstone, Kent rendition). Enjoy!

Just for fun...

One day as part of some research, myself and two friends went in the "wilderness" of Maidstone - Where we found some amazing views, perfect for footage and creepy forgotten tunnels...

Kinetic Type..

During a Year 2 lecture on typography, we were show examples and alternative methods of playing with type - This short animation is what first really drew me into moving graphics and kinetic typography...

After Effects?

In my 3rd and Final Year of my BA I decided I wanted to seriously play with film and animation to see if it was what I truly enjoyed...

Through experimentation and countless YouTube tutorials, I gain some knowledge of After Effects and how I could use the program to successfully create films.. 

and even animate characters, giving them personality and feeling.

Motion Graphics..

1. "Motion graphics are graphics that use video footage and/or animation technology to create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects."

Inspirations..

Most of my inspirations for animation come from YouTube - where so many alternative methods of film are placed and sometimes draw hardly any notice.. or the respect they deserve.

Recent Works..

I have recently received a commission from ARC Interactive Studios to help animate and design the final storyboard for "Gnome Non-Sense" - which is to be released on mobile devices and social media websites. The ARC team recently won "The Big Pitch" (Anglia Ruskin student business competition) and received £10,000 to make this game a reality.





12 months later...?

Eventually, I would love to work with a Creative Animation Studio where I can continue to play with motion graphics, visual storytelling, statistics and film. For example....

MomocoMontage

Currently studying at UCA Epsom, MA Graphic Design:

I hope to continue playing with animation and film whilst learning new programs and coding for websites.

Within this year I hope to further my experience with the Adobe Suite and make life-long contacts.

Then 12 months from now, I hope to be gaining even more experience with creative animation studios and push myself into film industries.

Thank you.

International Pedagogy (UK).

This animation is my rendition of the given brief "International Pedagogy" from my uni, MA Graphic Design UCA Epsom. Made in after effects, this film acts as a quick guide for those new to the UK and the basics for your first hour or so.

This is purely for educational purposes only. I do also not own the audio track, Bonobo - Cirrus. 

The animation has been designed by myself.

Kings Hill: Blow Up Cinema

As of January 2014, it was decided that the UCA Exhibition would take place at the old radio tower in Kings Hill, Kent. The date has yet to be decided but should take place in the autumn/winter of 2014. Within this exhibition, I will be presenting my idea of a summer film festival for the parish of Kings Hill, which will also have a short supporting animation alongside it. I feel confident that this proposal can eventually be made a reality.

Royal Opera House - Verdi Requiem: Final Poster

BA Major Project

This animation is my BA (Hons) University Final Major Project submission. Made in after effects, this film supports the physical mental and emotional states of a human being and raises awareness to the benefits of taking up running as a fitness routine, in the hopes that others will be inspired to get outside and change their equilibrium for the better too. 

This is purely for educational purposes only. I do also not own the audio track, an instrumental rendition of Imagine Dragons - On top of the World. 

The animation has been designed by myself.

Verdi Requiem: Poster Competition

A brief from the London Royal Opera House; to design a new wave of posters for the upcoming concert, Verdi Requiem. Adjustments can be made as the brief unfolds.
