Lesson Planning and time management to date

Final Logo Production Animation

I decided to change the explosion from my last attempt to a single blast instead of two. So I re-planned the idea and produced what I wanted shown below.



I then filmed the camera lens which will feature behind the title explosion when the shutter snaps. I have slowed the speed of this footage from 100% to 20% as well as rising the contrast and also desaturating it.



I then placed the two together and matched up the times of the shutter closing and the blast to create my final edit.



After looking at the finished product, I am happy, however I thought that the animation looked much cleaner without the camera in the background. I think as it is hard to tell that the shutter is closing with the test in front, it might be hard for the audience to understand why the camera is there. So I have made the decision to just use the single animation with the black background. Below is my definite final, with sound.

Research for Production Logo Animations

Using the website www.videocopilot.net we have been able to access tutorials to help design and create out production logo animation. I have taken a few screen shots of the tutorials watched below...

The idea of my production logo animation is to have the snapshot of the camera lens crush and explode the text of the title. I have done a drawing in photoshop to help describe and plan my idea. 

Here I have the camera lens, whilst the title is slowly emerging (using animation in After Effects).

When the shutter within the lens starts to close, as if a picture is being taken, it will crush the title as if it was in the way. This will then cause the title to explode using animated particles (created in After Effects).

And below here is screenshots taken of myself making the animation.

Below is the result of my animation in After Effects. I will need to add in the footage I want in final cut as my next step to finishing this. I think it also needs a bit more editing so it can match up the camera shutter speed settings, however I will do this once edited my film.

Here as a group we have re-created a scene from the book of eli.
