TV Channel

> Channel four do amazing documentaries and top (insert number here) type programs but I think the channels audience is too broad to fit my literature based program//


> More Four however are more serious than channel four and do have an audience that would be interested in a program such as mine//


> BBC however has been praised for it's literature based documentaries so I feel that my program would benefit more if broadcast on this channel//

sleeping Beauty Final Ident


>Not completely happy with this one. Most probably because I tried animating it from a different angle which didn't work as well as I'd hoped. I'm going to return to this soon and experiment with the camera and see what effect that gives me.

Sleeping Beauty 2D Layers experiment





> With this version instead fo using the 3d camera tool I adjusted the scale key frames of each layer and moved the anchor points so that the image would appear to zoom into the screen in the right position and as if the camera was moving away from the objects. It was a lot easier and quicker to edit this way compared to converting layers to 3d and applying the camera tool, I definitely preferred this technique.

Sleeping Beauty 3D Camera experiment


> Here I converted each layer into a 3D layer and experimented with the cameras. The effect was good but I took a long time getting to all the elements where I wanted them to be so I decided to experiment with 2D layers and adjust add in key frames, adjusting the scale at different stages.



Hansel and Gretel ident


>Almost complete just need to tweak the two characters movements at the end of the video, the background stops moving so it looks as if Hansel and Gretel are walking on the spot//


> I decided to fade the bbc four identity at the bottom of the screen, well within the title/action safe guides and be constantly visible through the rest of the video.



> This is the 1st and possibly only Ident that I'm going to use type in, I decided to use a script typeface to fit with the Grimm brother's theme and incorporate a handwritten calligraphic type.

2d to 3d to 2d



Organising Workspace (Pre composing/nesting)


> I found that animating separate scenes started to fill up my workspace and it got a little over crowded. So I started to consolidate related layers into separate compositions making it so much easier to edit certain stages of the title sequence and along with colour coding the compositions made it so simple to navigate through my files.
