Exploration 5: Images examples


This is a shot of the city I grew up in:  Jacksonville, Florida Main St. circa 1910. Its a charming shot of life back 100 years ago, people just populating the streets. The wires would be really hard to get around but the file is big enough to cut down into it.



 

This is a little charming photograph of one of the first roller coasters. I thought it gave a charming little story of two girls planning to go ride on it one day as they looked at it from a distance.




A little bit of action. Fire. Rescue. I thought it might be a little dynamically interesting.

PROJECT 1: Videos

FIRST PASS


Notes: One major problem I was having was trying to figure out how to make lights and shadow. This was a failed attempt at using a 3D light with After Effects.

Critique: Actually 'fake' lights and shadows with masks. Don't have the text centered in the screen. Make the colored 'bubs' the light source.





SECOND PASS




Notes: I was having a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how I wanted to animate the shadows. And then after I rendered the shadows seemed to be really light and soft. Also, I noticed later that the color lights should have some movement to them.

Critique:





FINAL PASS



Notes: I got a really helpful video from Ed and I changed a lot of things around. Like I made the logo a little bigger and instead of white on white, its now black on black. Also, I animated the color lights so I could add a bit more motion to the piece. I like this effect a lot better.

PROJECT 1: Idiation

Brainstorming


Five Aspirations
1) To provide fun and exciting entertainment to others.
2) Help bring a community together.
3) Inspire people to broaden their perspective and ideas.
4) To reach out and touch or change lives.
5) Express deep and profound emotions and feelings.




Five Concept Ideas
 1) Bring beauty and life to the streets of Sarasota, as colorful pop design graffiti wraps around a damaged brick wall and forms into the Art Network Logo.






































2)  The brush stroke is a fundamental form of expressing creativity and paint brings color into our world. Enjoy the drip like letter forms of Art Network's Logo through the mixture of bleeding paint.





 3) Artists see a world through form and shape, light and shadow. Follow the Art Network Logo as it is a beautiful 3D sculpture through fun and interesting shapes with the use of simple paper, as light and shadow falls across it and reveals the forms.







 4) Sarasota is known for its beautiful famous beaches, and its basically our back yard for Ringling. Discover Art Network's Logo as it is built up out of the sand and blows away.










5) Students live each and every day through their sketchbook. Follow different unique interpretations of Art Network's Logo through the student's point a view, showing process and development through individual styles.
