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.
