Business of Animation - Kino10

Kino 10 Ident was the last brief I chose to do.  Kino 10 was looking for an Ident between 5-20 seconds highlighting there events and what they do show casing short films.

  

I looked at what was on the website and immediately what stood out to me was the vast array of posters they had highlighting there various events. I thought I could use this to promote them.

 

Business of Animation - Street Food Month

Street Food Month  was the second  animation I chose to do. For this I had two ideas. Food truck race is my first idea for Street Food Month. I am pleased with the out come and think it works well with the sound.

Final Version Street Food Mouth animation.

This was an early version and this was an early version of my Street Food Month food truck race.

As I wanted to use the trucks again I had another idea. This idea was a simpler idea. This is the final version of my second idea which I think came out quite well.

This was an early version I made I have made quite a couple of changes in my final version.

Research and Inspiration

For my Street food Month I  looked into the food network channel I found one of their shows, the great food truck race. This gave me the idea to do a race where the trucks are racing into the city for Street food month.

In the show the teams are usually consisting you three members 

so I decided it would be best to only have three trucks.

These are the designs of the trucks  I created from front side and back. The hotdog costume character was something also I had planed to use but  decided not to use it.

Business of Animation - Sugar Rush Sundays Part 2

This is the Final version I have choose to go with, I decided to make some changes to the end title sequence. As I wanted it to stand out more look more sugary and have a bigger impact on screen.

Final version 

I am please with the final outcome and think that it does work well with the sound. It was challenging and I did encountered a few problems but i worked through it and it come out well.

 Early test version 

 

This is my Final version keep to the animatic.

Development 

I created the characters in illustrator and really got use to using it.

I created the roundabout first in illustrator but saw that 2d was not going to work so I deiced to do it in 3d using Google sketch up. I had not used Sketch up recently but it was the best method for me to create it fast and closely to my reference. 

Animatic

     

I created this animatic out of the storyboards I made. This was very helpful to me so I could  get the timing right.

Business of Animation - Sugar Rush Sundays

Initially add gone for Italian month first this was because it was 15 seconds and I thought the brief was  pretty clear with what they wanted. However I found ideas for it to not being the most creative i.e Italian flag on a background with food and items appearing I wanted a strong theme for it. So I moved away of focus on Sugar Rush Sundays.

Sugar Rush Sundays being 5 seconds is a short and snappy the audio itself is very action packed with a lot of  happen in it.

Sugar Rush Sundays

The idea behind my sugar rush Sundays is to show lots of confectionery sweets and treats playing around in a  playground the centerpiece of this is a roundabout which is where most of the sweets are gathered here at the roundabout will begin to accelerate shooting one to sweets off propelling into the camera.

 These were some motion graphics and TV idea that inspired the sort of style I want my animation to be like.

These are some really cool animated ident for cartoon network.
