Jingle Screenshots

After Effects Jingle - Client Project

Heres a short sample of an After Effects jingle I've created to go in between interviews, its scrolling text with a horizontal motion blur.

DVD Menu Production

This post is just an update to show you how my DVD Menu will look for my video. I've uploaded this to youtube for everyone to look at. I created the masked text effect in Adobe After Effects, The text is masking the Video which is an effect that I think really stands out, I didn't want anything too complicated and wanted to keep the menu very minimal and clean looking, with typography being the focal point, adjusting the kerning and leading of the type to get my desired effect.

Few more screenshots of further interviews!

Client Project Update

Just an update regarding my client project, I've embedded a small interview snippet from the DVD, the whole thing needs colour correcting which is taking a while to render! The DVD menu is nearly there, so i should have some screenshots upped shortly. I'm Hoping to have the DVD printing sorted this week so fingers crossed theirs no problems. Overall I'm really pleased and my client seems very happy with the product which is going to be used as promotional tool to hand out. Hopefully the project shouldn't have any hiccups at the last minute.



** update - embedded video seems to go over the navigation on the right which looks awful, so I've decided to link it instead **

Portfolio Website

I'm busy developing a portfolio website inbetween working on my client project & my PRP. I've been offered a job at a design studio if I can learn some coding so in my spare time I've been reading some CSS and XHTML books to develop my understanding.

My portfolio is going to be a very simple design, with 4 sections my home page, work, short biography, and contact details. I have my portfolio work there to be included but I'm still developing a way to best show this on my Work page. I'm thinking of using flash for that part. You can view 2 pages live that I have uploaded at the moment, I made sure they were W3C compliant and that they worked on multiple browsers before uploading! I'm very pleased with the outcome and cant wait to get my portfolio work section done that will be broke down into 3 sections, Web, Print and Video. I'm also wanting to develop a blog, however this is something I might have to get outside help with as its way past my ability. For my homepage I'm wanting a scrolling gallery of my most recent work. You can visit 2 live pages currently complete here:
