Simulated Project - Final Cut



Six week project to design a 20 sec animation to be used as anti digital piracy campaign advert.

Software used:
3ds Max
Photoshop
Pro Tools
Premiere

Feedback...
In the recent tutorial, I showed the video to my class and feedback was pretty much what I expected. As usual I 'filled' the brief, in other words, I have done what was required and nothing more (and nothing less). Basically it didn't wow anyone because I played this brief safe. I ran with the first idea I had, again, which was pretty a mediocre one. Also, you could tell that I didn't plan it very well. This was supposed to be focusing on an animation, and the animation is very scarce!
That being said, the positive feedback was the effect I implemented on the musicians; the way they 'dissolved'. The music worked (as usual) and the voice over was clear and people got the message.
Conceptually the idea was again, a 'safe' one. It was on a boarder line of being quite a dictating message, but it was quite subtle too. Perhaps the nature of the narrative made it so, after all, it's only music (you're buying/downloading something that doesn't really exist, sshh!)
So the general feedback I got was 'ok'. It was an 'ok' piece of work, and I agree. I know I can do better though.


Music: Ed Palermo Big Band - Aybe Sea
