Willoughby Wakes Up (crude test)
1 year ago
This is to test some ideas about motion in a project I've had on the back burner for a while. I-movie let's you do some corny motion graphics for inserts, so I thought I'd toy with them a bit... I don't know how to do real motion graphics, but I wanted to see what that and layers and scrolling and such might turn into on the screen. The story is a bit more involved and involves three characters: Willoughby, Clark, and the narrator. Feed back, collaboration, etc. welcome.

And I also, think improving one's own work is a form of personal censorship.
These are just my thoughts on "doing better" don't take them for much if you don't want to.
Never mind; this is simply a visual test. Hopefully we'll talk story etc. later.
I think colin stetson should do the track?
I recorded this off my still cannon and double tracked it one going up and one going down.
ideallly there should be a mike that records the middle
last night.
that intermixed with painted face stop action might be enough.
some extra curvey geometric animation is external to the core. i am not sure why it is ranging that far.
i liked the sound track, some of the smooth video needs to be more steppy, buffered and less smooth will make live action more art.
in an itin movie, i expect live action and panoramas, live action and transportation, while art layers are the stronger elements - punched with stop frame action. image reversal, shadow emphasis...
(i.e. a change every 1/6 or 1/7th second at the most.)
(sorry but I always loved that commercial with the dude made out of croisssant rollls...... I think they called them crescent rolls.....)
The Pillsbury Dough Boy
Such a WWII oddity of naming.
The only thing I would recommend is to come up with more creative transitions that aren't just scrolling. It's probably okay to do it for a couple but not for all of the first 2/3 of the video. Maybe have elements fly in from different sides or have things appear as one thing but actually be revealed as something else, etc.
Also I'd like if more of the visuals were synced with the audio, especially the beginning maybe the faces change as the audio does at certain points.
this is really really awesome and I like that you are trying out something new. I can't wait to see more!
