Vectorised Vinyl Test shots






The screen shot show the vinyl fly past the screen at different distances and speeds. This was achieved by simply changing the scale of the object and determining when the were released.


These vectorised images are of different coloured vinyl records that I made in Illustrator. They will be used fairly extensively in my top 10 sequence, so the only natural thing for me to do was test them out in a test video.

Top 10 Title Sequence Video トップ10のタイトルシーケンス



This is my final production logo sequence. I was fairly surprised at how professional it looked considering this was my first proper video using all the skills I had developed in the 'silent movie breif'.
However this kind of video would also benefit from having some kind of sound effects to give it a bit more depth. I also think that this would communicate the video better and show people a better understanding of the style I want to achieve.

Top 10 Title Sequence トップ10のタイトルシーケンス



This is the final image in the sequence. A blank white screen.


The final image remains on the screen for about a second and then begins to disappear into a white background.


As this happens the japanese script that has entered from the bottom right shoots back to the left and sits below the english type that has just faded up into view.


At this point we can see some english text fade up in the bottom right corner.


In this shot the 2 sections of japanese text arrive into the frame. The text in the top right descends into the frame and behaves much like the text in the first shot.
The text on the the bottom comes in from the lower right.


Two lines will then come in, one from the right and one from the left. This will help the viewer brake away from the main focal point and concentrate on the other sections of text about to come in.


On the second screen shot the main focal point fades up into view. The japanese script translates into 'visionary' in english. This will be the brand identification for the video.


This is the first screen shot they I took from my top 10 title sequence. It starts off with a black screen and the text 'Tokuma Japan Communications descends from the top left from 0% opacity to 100%.


The Top Ten Breakbeat Tracks.

For This module I have decided that I will make an animation of the top 10 breakbeat tracks. This animation will be aimed at japanese electronic music lovers who want to hear new kinds of music.

The style of the animation will consist mainly of vectorized images that I will create in illustrator. I would like the animation to look quite slick in its appearance and I think the sharpness of the vector images means that I will be able to achieve this.


Here are my Top 10 Breakbeat Tracks.

Slyde - Block Parties
Plump Dj's - When The Funk Hits The Fan
NAPT - Work This Out
Drumatic Twins - Dont be so Fucking Dramatic
Freestylers - Security
Plump Dj's - Big Groovy Fucker
A - Skillz - Happiness
Brothers Bud - Crazy Jack
Stereo 8 - Cant Stop
Shimon and Nixon - Around The Edge
