Animation Project



This animation project was done purely to explore different techniques in animating stills and how we could do this using Adobe Premiere. I quite like the outcome as, although it was never intended to be a serious animation video, it's quite funny and strange and is an interesting exploration of the different techniques. We tried to have some beat by beat editing in relation with the song 'In This River' by Black Label Society and i think it is rather succesful in this. I'm quite pleased with this video as i think it is a bit of fun and interesting whilst still allowing us to further our skills with the animation functions on Adobe Premiere.

ABC project



This was our first project upon entering the A2 year in which we had to think of different ways to represent the ABC song shown below. My partner and i chose to look around our college for objects that visually represented different letters, to try and create an interesting video which made people want to watch on to see what would be next. I think this is relatively succesful however i much prefer the original version and think it would be nicer if our video had included brighter colours so that it was easier for the target audience of young children to interpret the images and more interesting for them to watched, although overall i am pleased with the outcome.

The original video.

Transition Project




This Video was made as a small introductory project during the Transition phase. Here we have tried to create a music video for the Jackson 5's 'blame it on the boogie'. We have tried to make this a humorous video and used props such as the masks to create a 'spoof' like video. We wanted to create the same energy that's within the music and originally looked at the actual music video and tried to use this as inspiration for our own video. We had created a small dance routine quickly that is used somewhat within the video however not throughout as we originally planned. Upon reviewing footage of the dance routine we decided it would be more natural and less awkward if we improvised some of the dancing and I am very happy that we chose to do this as i think it creates a much more relaxed and interesting video. We tried to edit the clips somewhat to the beat of the music and i think we have done this quite succesfully. Overall I am really happy with the outcome of this small music video project.
