L5 Animation - Pre-Production for Specialist Study Caslon 2

This is the somewhat final piece for the Caslon  project I had to slightly rush finishing it to the end and it is missing a voice-over which would have felt well this however was because of my time constraints on this project.

L5 Animation - Pre-Production for Specialist Study Caslon


The brief for the Caslon project was to create an animation or motion graphic from a segment of text on William Caslon. For this, I was given Caslon’s influence, which was a short piece describing Caslon and his printing industry in England. My action plan was to highlight the keywords in the text and use this as a guide for my animation. However, as I was given some more time for this project, I did more research on Caslon, to find out additional information about him, his industry and the art of printing in England in the 18th century.

Research on in to Caslon






For the Caslon animation the style I went for orders motoring graphic this was due to many reasons I thought this style would be good for the target audience as it is easy visuals and is less time-consuming. 

L5 Animation - Pre-Production for Specialist Study

For the L5 Animation - Pre-Production for Specialist Study Project I had to tasks which I needed to complete the first was to work with an L6 student and help with his animation the 2nd was to create an animation based on William Caslon. This task was given to me later on so given me a short time to animate.

For the specialist study project I worked with an animator whose  area of interest was stop motion this however was not something I want to specialize in.  Unfortunately I was not giving the most to do with this student which didn't make for the most rewarding collaboration.

This was his storyboard the main task I helped him with was captured the animation on the Milo camera.

Digital animation– Planning

An easy-to-read illustration helps tell a story and makes data points easier to understand. And it doesn't hurt when infographics are not only clear and straightforward but also beautiful and engaging. The aesthetic design draws the viewer in; the information helps the viewer analyze and understand the data being presented.
    visualizations that present complex information quickly and clearly
    visualizations that integrate words and graphics to reveal information, patterns or trends
    visualizations that are easier to understand than words alone
    visualizations that are beautiful and engaging

Digital animation– Infographics Research 2

The two videos below highlight the huge effect technology has on students and teenagers. Highlight a number of things such as how they use it what they think of it and how it is changing their world and how they live life. I thought this was a very insight video which would how contribution to my animation. 





I did some more research on infographic to examine a bit more about the different styles and techniques used in infographics. usually  there is a narrator in the Infographic guiding the view and convey the information over. However this is not always the case some may just have music and some have no sound which is does not really make the most engaging Infographic.

The pinterest infographic only uses music but does so very effectly this carried the story and the view through the animation the colour is bubblly and vibrant the  to the ma
