Today, I have looked through my DVDs and started to really think about the film I want to create the title sequence for. I also created my Gantt chart, it seems like forever till February...but its not!!
The title sequences we have been shown last week, and also examples people have posted on this are awesome. However, they do seem to be slightly intimadating. Even though we should watch these for motivation and thrive to be as good as them, I think it is also useful to see projects people our age and of our skills have produced to help us.
This one below, is effective, and quite simple. It is something, with a bit of work, we could definitely re-create.

Yo
Ok, this is Pink's video for 'You and Your Hand' (the remix as the actual one isn't allowed to be embeded or whatever the word is) I'm not into the song but the 'typography-ness' is pretty damn good. I came on here and did this because I thought it was about time I did. Probably reflects my PDP lol. Anywho...blah blah... love the way they've got the type to look like smoke. Ummm blahhh....Does anyone actually read these? I know I don't, lol. Love the idea of the words coming out of the page hmmmm.... may steal that idea. I called it first!! xD

Title Sequence
Hey folks! I know the weekend ahead will contain plenty of title sequence filled heads!! I thought this may help:
http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
It is IMDB's top 250 films. It may just give you some ideas you have not thought of.
Go enjoy.

School of Satchi Review
School of Satchi
Review
School of Satchi is a TV series in which aims to find new artistic talent. I find this programme hugely inspirational for me as a designer. The programme explores different artists, from painters to sculptors and installation artists.
The series is over 4 programmes, and follows the journey of cutting down thousands of artists to one winner. They use professional artists and critics throughout the programme to judge the amateurs, this makes the programme very professional and engaging. You want to hear what they have to say about the work, and as a designer get hints and tips for yourself. Even though the programme is one hour long, it does keep the attention of the audience very well because you want to see the final product, for e.g. in the latest show they had to produce a piece of modern large scale art for the Hastings sea front.
Art and Design is a career which is highly competitive and very difficult to get your foot through the door. Therefore, this series would appeal to a large audience as not many people get the chance to get this far within art. It gives the audience an insight into what is possible which is very motivational and inspirational. It definitely makes the audience feel good about themselves, and therefore is successful as a programme because people will want to watch the next show. People will also want to see the next show because they feel they have got to know the participants throughout the first few programmes, and want to know who makes it further in the competition.
Series within this genre, in which you watch other people is very appealing. It puts the audience in a voyeuristic position. This means, we are watching what they are doing without them seeing. If they make mistakes, even though it is sometimes awkward to watch when they get upset, an audience still likes to view this because it allows us to experience strong emotions with people we wouldn't normally. Therefore allowing us to escape.
The general post production work for this series, i.e. the film edit, is quite simple and sophisticated. The transitions between the shots are simple cuts, to make the show seem believable and not edited. This is an important factor because it allows the audience to feel trust towards the show and not think that we are been restricted with what we are viewing. The title sequence however, is a bit more impressive. It includes paint splatter across the screen, resulting in the title ‘School of Satchi’. Again, it isn't too complicated, but still effective enough to look modern.
As a series, I think School of Satchi is a big success because there hasn’t been a programme similar to this for artists/designers apart from the recent show ‘Design for Life’. However, it is still popular because the genre and set up is similar to other well known shows, for e.g X Factor. Therefore it isn't too daring or unusual for people to not want to watch. As a designer, I would definitely recommend this series to other visual artists.

The Girl Who Didnt Dress Bright
This is going to be my second review (yes my second maybe my tenth well be in next ten years or so but...) as I forgot if I can review adverts (pitch folks at the ready...) anyway "The Girl Who Didn't Wear Clothes", or the advert from Think! Road Safety advertisement. We have gone from the days where we have singing hedgehogs teaching the green cross code "Stop, Look and Listen"and now we are in the days where scaring little kids is much better. This animation was made by the company Nexus Production in 2d and 3d computer animation.
The narrative is set out in a poem and told as a tale about the girl who didn't dress bright. The advert reminds me of a Tim Burton animation with use dearm like surreal backgrounds and flash backs of what happened.
This is a simple but I think effective advert as its done a creative way to not terrify a young audience but would make a impact into thinking.
Strange Trees
I went to a book launch last night at Turdis (this is what me and my brother call the Urbis) which was supposed to be accompanied by an art fayre and a live band performance.....
The table where the author was sat with her books was right at the back out of sight, could only see one painting, and the band that was supposed to be performing didn't even show up!
...but some guy did two poetry readings and that was pretty cool. I don't regularly go to any poetry events but every so often in the past when i've been at a gig, there have been some impromptu poetry readings and they are always pretty good.
You should check some out......err, sometime.
Words can be fun kiddies!
