First draft of Malcolm X speech

inspirational video

I think  this is a really good example of motion graphics. The music and the words go together and the climax of the speech is at the same time of the music. I think that he did a really good job at making the words describe the sentence or phrase and although there are images it doesn't take away from the speech. He also does a really good job at taming and making the words go with the timing of the video. A lot of the things he does is cool like how he makes words in the sound waves, and the colliding of the word colliding. I like how the graphics start and finish soft although the end of the speech is not necessarily soft spoken.

Inspiration questions

North By Northwest

Psycho

Ocean’s Eleven

How does Saul Bass work with type, image/graphics and music in these three title openings to set the tone for the coming film? How do they play off of one another? What is the mood you feel watching them? How are they similar and different?

in oceans eleven title sequence saul uses the dots and continuous lines that show up in segments to be his items of consistency. the dots are always framing something. IN North by Northwest the grid lines are something that is consistent why the title sequence is going on another thing that is consistient is that the credits all slide in and out and they also use bars to connect the frames. Psycho was the most experimental of the type and the music has a different tone then the other two but again there are lines that make the frames uniform as well as the sliding on and off the screen of the credits. Another thing that happens in all of them is that the major movements in the motion graphic are aligned with the bars in the music.

I Shot Andy Warhol

Safe

American Psycho

How does Marlene McCarty work with type, image/graphics and music in these three title openings to set the tone for the coming film? How do they play off of one another? What is the mood you feel watching them? How are they similar and different?

in I shot andy Warhol the music is more serious . theres a little tremble motion to the words. everything is kind of choppy and it has gun sound at major parts during the title sequence. the music is ominous and uses the glow effect. the title sequence flows more versus being choppy  American Psycho has a simpler approach the type doesn't really transition as much. The emphasis is more on the images than it is on the type. Out of the 3 videos you would thing its music would be the most ominous out of the 3 but it is the opposite.

malcolm X motion Graphics

This Motion graphic was one of my first exploration and it followed closely to the book I created. It uses a lot of big words and zooming in on them as well as making the words move in a way that shows what the words mean.

motion graphics2

this motion graphics I wanted to have a really simple feel so I focused on gradients and things coming either one sentence or phrase at a time. I also focused on it being more cohesive so things from a prior frame would end up on the frame your vewing. 

motion graphics storyboard

On the first motion graphic I am really trying to focus on zooming into words to make them bigger as well as rotating to add emphasis to things and kind of making it an intentional stop and go motion graphic.

Revised book based on critique

based on the feed back in class I tried to make the book simple. I added color to "there can be no black white Unity" to further illustrate the point. I also Allowed the Black Unity spread to take up the whole page and be more cohesive. I also tried to be more creative with words such as destroy, drunkeness, drug addiction, prostitution, and organized crime.

book revision 2

Again I was trying to focus on making this book different from just using scale and weight to emphasize the words. Instead I used tints to emphasize things. I really like the contrast that happens in the book.

book revision number one

A lot of my books were just different versions of each other so I tried to push this one further and come up with a separate idea from the others book. I tried not to rely heavily on the weight of words since thats what i did in my other book instead I tried to put emphasis on certain words by making them look differently and show the meaning of the word.
