For my motion graphics assignment, I intend to
create a kinetic animation with heavy use of vector images and camera movement.
To link to the quote of “design is thinking made visual” by Saul Bass, I am
going to take a fairly literal approach in terms of the narrative behind the
animation. The story will start with a blueprint/design of a product on a piece
of paper (the thought/idea), then zoom in and an animation of the process of
building the product within a factory will happen on the screen (made visual).
A
visual explanation of this can be seen within the storyboard PDF that has been
attached in the same folder as this document. The overall style will be heavy
use of 2 tone silhouettes; a basic, flat background colour and black figures in
the foreground.
All the images will be vectors created in
illustrator and then imported for ease of animation. Examples of this theme can
be found in the mood board PDF. The theme is greatly influenced by a factory setting;
therefore most of the imagery will be of spinning gears, industrial pipes,
metal, sparks and machinery.
The main source of inspiration for the entire
project is a flash animation called “Tarboy” that can be found at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACHVwA1D8fE.
Though it was made in flash and not after effects, it is still a good example
of use of kinetic animation without any text.
