Applied Animation: Documentary - Credits and Press Pack

Applied Animation

Credits, Press Pack and Art Of Book

• This week:
• We finalised the press pack and worked on creating some additions to the credits, to make them more appealing.
• What went well:
• My initial designs for the credits, were small thumbnails of each character, as a sketchy silhouette. I initially tried a textured, paint splatter look for each character. Then, explored the possibility of a sketchy gif.

 First possible concepts to use:

Preferred Sketchy loops for Credits:

• In addition to this, we added a border to the credits, which I designed, after multiple attempts. We liked my final design, because it looked like an embroidered pattern and made the visuals almost seem tapestry-like.
• Here are the designs:

• Furthermore, we completed the Press-Pack and put together an Art-Book for the full project. We wanted to express the level of effort and detail we had put into this research.
• Here is both the Press-Pack and Art-Book:

Art Book:

• What could be improved:
• The press pack could be further improved, with a title page for the full animation and more technical specifications for sound, running time, etc. 
• The border could have included the Nordic names of characters appear in the side, when they come on-screen, which would be a nice small detail. As we don't have a lot of time, it was kept to a simple side border.
• Next week:
• The animation will be finalised, ready for submission and festival entry.
