Motion Graphics Fall 22 / Madison Miller

 

 

 

 This is a rough idea of what I'd like to do. I explored the idea of an infinite illustration loop earlier this semester and would like to explore it more. Boat Command is a low-fi beats band I've made artwork for, so I already know their style. They have a new album coming out soon and I'd like to advertise that. Im still contemplating what I'd like my rule guidelines to be. Im thinking of allowing myself only duotone - as it would save me time and create a neat aesthetic. I plan on talking with the band to discuss what illustrated images they'd like to see.

It's not completely finished - there's small things I'd still like to add. I still need to do my voiceover.

 I had a hard time finding a tutorial I wanted to use. I want to do a collage style for my video so I found a paper cut-out tutorial. I managed to do it but not sure how to implement it all together -  as you see it is not connected to the video. I'd like to figure it out though because its a neat technique. Heres the tutorial I used. 

 For my PSA I'd like to do it on saving our pollinators. This problem is often focused on bees but they are not the only pollinator -  nor are they the only ones in danger. I think I want to go for a collage style so I will be doing a tutorial that could help me go in that direction.

Here is my final - I didn't get to do everything I had planned due to my external hard drive issues. But i'm happy with what I have.  

Friday night I accidentally wiped my external hard drive and lost the work I had so far. This is what I have for now but Im continuously adding onto it.The toothpaste isn't as clean as the first time so I want to redo that.  

 For my infographic I'd like to do discuss how to brush your teeth. I know it seems like a simple and plain idea but i'd like to put a funny twist on it.  I plan to add funny charm to it through my words, and stylistic choices.

 For my video - I want to include a clip of toothpaste going on the toothbrush. I found a simple tutorial and followed along.  It was a bit tricky but Im excited to push it further with color and shading. Also -  I just realized the video is much longer than the content so ignore that.

 I had some issues with my flower cropping - tried reading about it but could not figure it out. My illustration also gets pixelated and I tried turning on continuous rastersize but it stayed greyed out.

 an attempt at a handwritten effect - I had some difficulty trying to get the type to show up instead of my pen tool. Still trying to figure that out.

 

 Over the week I have cleaned it up more - and as I was working on it the other day I had an idea to incorporate shapes, colors, and symbols based on the mood and tempo of the speech. I think i'd like to do this to replace the character emoticon idea.  Im thinking about possibly making a system with this idea. Whether that be adding a circle for one syllable,  a big square for an adjective - etc. 

This is my progress so far. My plan is to add more effects and play around with character animations.   

  I definitely am not done with it but I feel like I have the main bones so far. This is Winston ranting from New Girl. I kinda wanna take a shot at some small illustrations to add as the characters? We will see.
