Motion Graphics


"Whale Song" for Modest Mouse from Bent Image Lab on Vimeo.



COLR from Emrah Gonulkirmaz on Vimeo.




this is where i started to look into some motion graphics and i think that these really start to communicate a stronger understanding of what is really capable on a machine, the best thing i like about these is they have that much more crisp look to them however i think that its going to need more work for me to reach this standard of work, plus i would have to learn to use a new type of software.

this is something that i would like to aim at by the end of my degree, i think this style is just outstanding and would look absolutely amazing in my portfolio





this is something that i think looks really effective however i dont like the explosion at the end i think that just looks tacky, the type should have moved dramatically or something which was more fitting to the rest of the video





this is simple to achieve with the motion graphics and the kinetic type together, something along these lines make them all link together and make them look like how i would want them to work out and what i would want things to be with my work.





the concept of playing with the image and making it change and manipulating it even though it was animated really makes me think that this could be something to look into for future projects

Image and Video Introductions...


mostly imagery except for the final section which is a small clip of movie sequence.


this again is something really really simple yet still just uses simple videos to make sure that you can see how its going to communicate in the most effective manner, its the type that makes the most of things on here and this can then also show how you want things to turn out in the end.


this is a simple use of images and the text, the images have been edited to look like old pictures that would have been took back in them days, and then the text has been placed on, this links it together and shows the style of work which i would want to achieve.


Type and Vector Introductions...


this has the use of still images and then the style of vector work over the top, most of the design work on this has been created by the use of illustrator and after effects.


this is another one that i think works with the use of vector work and images that aare really simple and not too complex to things that i need to compete with and how i want these to work.


this uses really simple affect effect motions to make it work, this is something that i think can be influenced into my design and used to persuade the movements that i do


this is another which is simple in the design way that it works something which can be made with the use of a few images and also just alot of vector work. very simple yet very nice.


simple work of the vector and basically the same scene in the background just moving over and over again, this is something that works strongly but none the less communicates the message that is needed.


simple vector based style of working which really relates to the style that i kind of want to create however using a style which make the most sense from everything.


vector work used in a very minimal fashion to which the type which is placed in the end makes it work


similar to the post that i placed upwards, this makes the most out of what you can achieve, the way that the layers are used to make each of them have depth and this changes the output of what i want to gather


the it crowd is made purely from vector work and then just then with a range of animations and movements added to make it look computerised, its effective to reach the audeince its aimed at, but i think that i can find other things that i need.

simple vector work to make this look to the style which it does.

TV Introductions...


this is something that i think can easily be created in after effects, it has a simplistic style to it and looks like its a mixture of photoshop and illustrator, together these work.


this was from planet earth, this shows how things are planned together and how they can make the most of the title sequence aswell, i think that this is something that could really change the way that i look into creating my one minute piece that i want  to create. However i think that i need to lok more into ones which incorporate type and vector work cause i wont be able to create such ones using video which i dont posses. 


this shows how image could be used really easily with the use of text, i think i could incorporate this style of work with some normal images. if i was to use some images which were cut up into some z spacing and then to use these so that i could then


Lost is something that is so simple yet works cause thats how it is supposed to propose, something simple yet compelling and mysterious, this means alot to the dynamic of the programme.


This is something that really work strongly with what im looking to get and how i want things to work out for me, i think these can then be implied in my design. some of the effects in this such as where the transistions are made, are the most complex of ways to which i work and how i think these are created all together.

After Effects Inspiration...










These are some pieces of inspiring work that i found around youtube and the internet, these show what can actually be achieved using after effects, it really makes you start to think about what ive really achieved and what i need to acheive to get the grades im looking for.

Motion Graphics...


this is something that looks rather complex but once made and once i would have the skills to be able to make this then this is something that could be used in a very influential manner.


this is something else that i think could really really change the style of work that i will create, this will come down to the way in which people are wanted to be influenced by.



Plausable Imagery...










There is some plausable imagry that i may use for my idents and one minute movie that i think could work, i will then use this in after effects to make my movie sequence, but first of all i will edit these using illustrator and photoshop to make these images look more realistic and then this will add the effect and style that i tihnk i really need to make it work the best.
