BEST/WORST

Chuck Norris

For this brief i have decided to research the top 10 best Chuck Norris facts. These facts have been mad eup by many people all over the world about how superior Chuck Norris is to the rest of the world. They are fairly humorous in the stupidity of being actually true. but they give a good giggle.

Final animation

After looking at my tests and teaching myself some more after effects i grabbed all my research and development and created my final animation of the 3 words i chose.

I am very happy with the outcome. i had never used after effects before and i had a hard time getting to grips with the software, but after a few tears and frustration i managed to grasp the basic skills which created my final piece. i feel i have come along way even if it was a short journey and feel my knowledge and understanding, not only of after effects its self but how to structure and design an animation.

Tests

Using my storyboards i created a few test pieces for each of the words just to get used to the software and also to see how what i have drawn on paper looks on screen.

FOLD

CONFUSED

ABSORB

I am happy with the outcome of all my tests. It gave me a feel for the software and also how i could manipulate my words and make changes where i hadn't on paper.

Design sheets

ABSORB

CONFUSED

FOLD

These are my design sheets for my 3 words that i want to animate. I hadn't really thought about the layout or how it would happen on screen, so when we had to design the frames i found it very useful and alot easier to visualize.

Kinetic Typography

Kinetic typography is great to watch and can be made form anything. I find it great to watch as the timing and what can be done to make you feel like you are watching the text unfold are always original and unique with every person who creates a piece of kinetic type.

Animation research

Even though this isn't actually animation i think the hand drawn aspect of it is appealing and maybe something i will consider.

I really like this one. I is very cleverly made with a humorous feel that we can relate to.

As part of a quick response to the brief and the words i choose i created a quick stop frame animation with the word FOLD, just so i could get to grips with some simple animation.

Even though it is only simple and short it provides a promising starting point for this brief.

Workshop frame designs

I know they dont look very attractive or "designed" but this process helped me understand how i should start to think about frame and the body that i'm putting into it.

These are form my initial frames with the words given that i produced in the first workshop. They are very rough but it was so that we grasped the concept of frame, and where we could place words and also maneuver them inside.

Digital media definition

Here are the said examples that digital media has been defined as. It covers a range of media, it doesn't have to be the actual product, iss involved in the design of the game software or the internet web pages as well as the video animation. It covers a broad area.

mobile phones

compact dics

digital video

digital television

e-book

internet

minidisc

video games

world wide web

Digital media (as opposed to analog media) usually refers to electronic media that work on digital codes.

A good place to start for this brief would be to get a general definition of what digital media actual is.
