IF ONLY!

If only this was available to me right now! this is the most amazing interface in development to date i think!


I like this.

Nice little ident

Again by Audio84, this short ident is the type of thing I want to produce for my Selfaware Systems ident. the fluidity of motion, perspective sound are what make this. I guess that's called nuance.

Wipeout menu design

In my opinion, this is one of the best examples of menu design out there. Done by Audio84, It's slick look and sounds are wicked and the actual graphics themselves look so effective. Im not sure I'd know where to begin with something like this.. For one It wasnt made in DVDstudio Pro.. but it would be amazing to be able to design something like this. This graphic has got me interested in having a go on maya if I ever get a chance.

Because I want to design almost an identity for the DVD interface, I wanted to look into some sort of futuristic logo designs out of my dos logos book, so here is the sort of thing I've been looking at for some inspiration.

Urban Assault



The movement of this motion graphic and its jerky, kinda of strange sound and image relationship is really nice and is how i want my idents to end up, vector traced imagery moving around ina jerky and almost violent fashion.

another sweet animation reel

More research

Sci Fi styles

Design Direction: Dstrukt studio



Dstrukt studio are a motion graphics studio who produce motion graphic reels for corporations like mtv and bionic unit, these are visual aspects I want to work along the same lines as. Some of these little idents styles would be really good in a hi tech or sci fi style.

Just gotta have another cigarette



Bit vintage, works really well. Music is ace as well.

Ideas

So im just gathering ideas for some visual referance later, This is the title sequence to Eurotrip. Its sleek and has a flight instructions feel, merges motion graphic with character animation. It's done by Six Point Harness, Same guy who did The end credits for Black Dynamite and the foster home for imaginary friends tv show. Nice!


A good one



This motion graphic is really good becuase the type is working in pretty much perfect unison with the sound - the designer that produced this clearly spent hours tweening and refining speed od text in conjunction with the audio. I can imagine some serious storyboarding was done beforehand!

Cup O Tea



By Domneillvfx on youtube, check his channel.

Meat is an anagram of team...



A bit of moving type to the tune of shaun of the dead.

Made on After Effects

I didnt make i though! I just think its quite impressive..

Meet Fred



Found this, thought it was good, Im pretty sure this was done on After Effects,stop motion along with a bit of video footage. I like the overall look this video has and might be worth considering when it comes to my own videos.
