So, we have to film a Smacks commercial! We got a storyboard and some ideas but we kind of went for our own ideas. I also had a go on a drawing tablet today because i am doing some old school animating of a splat, so i just draw a splat on 1 layer and keep adding onto it kind of like a flipbook. It was a lot of fun and i hope to buy one myself.

(p.s) Mr. Shevlin if you are reading this i send you an email.

Our palmolive Commercial ideas delivered the message. We are trying to go for an Eco-friendly non toxic kind of vibe. We will be using green colors to represent it being non-harmful. Next lesson we will know what product we are filming/editing

New Godzilla Trailer

Amazing new Godzilla trailer. I like the way that they don't actually show the monster until the very end, but only for very briefly. This created suspense throughout all of the trailer. I'm not sure if Bryan Cranston would be the best actor in Godzilla (judging from his appearence in Breaking Bad), however i'm very excited for this film. The sounds they used when they fades out and in were also very nice, creating lots of tension throughout the trailer, it made you anticipate a jumpscare or very loud noise, but that didn't happen until the end, and in that way it still surprised you.

Commercials!

I thought this commercial was very effective, mostly because of the title "just add zero" which basically means add nothing. But Coka Cola found a way to make that into something. It is also very action-packed, it's exciting and doesn't make you want to just change the channel. I also like the camera-work because it doesn't really feel like you are watching a commercial, it almost seems like you are watching part of a movie.

Our new project is making a title sequence about a made up movie, mine is a horror\thriller about two people who moved to a town called Richmond to escape city life but there is something mysterious going on there. Here are a few examples of horror title sequences i liked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4thzyFFdvVc that is the se7en title sequence this is the shining opening sequnce : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgCejsyS0t8

For the past week we have been working on a typography project in which we had to animate text of a quote of Stephen Fry, I am almost finished now but still have to do the finishing touches such as synching it to when Stephen Fry says it.
