animatic

Here is our aniamtic. I never understood the importance of them until this project. This was so much help in organising the video. As we had so many photos to organise and timing issue, this was a perfect way to understand the way it will look. And i think for the first time ever we actually stuck shot by shot to the animatic.

Music videos

This is my favourite video from Passion Pit. I think most of our ideas came from the style of the video. It has a animation feel to it with the ripping of the paper to reveal the image underneath. This is by the original band of our song therefore if we did a video along the same style we would be sticking to the sound.

I love coldplay videos, i think every video has its own look which i love. Viva la Vida where it was like a painting and Strawberry swing with a cartoon look. I think they see there videos as arty aswell as they are not into the perfroming to camera look they want to put on a show.

Marketing an artist - Rueben J





Toward the beginning of this project we wanted to look into marketing an artist. We picked Rueben Jay, and was marketing him as a teen idol. We thought of ways that he could plug his singles on shows such as Johnathon Ross and Sunday Night Project. Also in girly magazines such as sugar and closer. Marketing him as a teen idol he would be involved in the whole social networking with facebook and myspace. This helped as understanding what is invovled in marketing a band.

Lyrics

Dear friend as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone insane
Your leaves have drifted away
But the clouds aren't leering up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea

Chorus

You're drifting like a fire
Buried deep beneath the water
You're pressing on your low low
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and bow
Come lay with me on the ground

You competing like mud swings
Spastic and bodily
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the floor
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor

Chorus

You're drifting like a fire
Buried deep beneath the water
You're pressing on your low low
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and bow
Come lay with me on the ground

instrumental break

Chorus

You're drifting like a fire
Buried deep beneath the water
You're pressing on your low low
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and bow
Come lay with me on the ground

Story boarding..


























Ideas and storyboards.











We are going to start the music video with our main guy walking in to an projection. The projection will be of the next scene and projected onto his t-shirt.






As our song is called Moths Wings its only natural we do something around moths. This was our original and main idea to let moths lead the direction of the video. A collection of moths will follow our main person and will bring colour to the video.


This was a tester i created on photo shop. As we are going with photo animation it has the advantage that we can use photo shop to individually edit the photos. However it is a very long process, in AS we done also done an animation were it was all hand drawn -I'm hoping that because we all ready have the main image it will be much quicker. Also we can learn from our mistakes.We were discussing ways that we can also involve the moths. We both had the idea of an umbrella as i it a sort of a hypnotic and draws you in. We would involve this with the city scene (below) and have someone within that scene with an umbrella which will lead into the next scenes. At the moment we are deciding whether to have this part photo animation or normal film.
This is the city, we are planning to have a cardboard cut out sort of like a pop up book for this certain part in the song where the music picks up. This is also alot of planning needed so we are going practice it first and if it causes alot of trouble we will scrap it. However i really want to do this.
