Video viral for Boradcast FCU

this week i helped a friend shoot a short film to advertise a week of events run by the christian union called broadcast. the film has to consist of people doing ordinary things with a cardboard tv on the head, i flmed it with a panasonic p2 and edited it in after effects, its not so much animation but it helped me improve my skills with after effects and dealing with video footage and sound.

with a little bit of motion graphics...im done!

i added the finishing touches to my experimental animation today:

the sound of a bike wheel spinning and the start and end as the wheel speeds up and slows down, and a simple titel and credit page at the beginging and end made on photoshop,

i have now managed to export it as a mpg and mov file for assesment as well as exhibiting it in an exhibition at woodland campus next thursday run by the FCU here's a link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=192742337423414

here is what the graphics at the end look like

I had this done last week, but not had the oportunity to put it up on my blog till now. since making this i have finnished all the lyp sync and movement in my final flash animation, i still may possiblt add hands in the background and a opening title sequence.

Experimental animation - final shoot!

Yesterday i did my final shoot for my experimental bike wheel animation. i have made 6 diffrent animation loops of 18 frames, and recorded them all spinning, i have booked out a digi lab today to edit all together and sync it to the music. here are some photos of the shoot abd the loops:
