Final Blurt! 30 sec Ident

Final Blurt! 30 sec Ident, UNIT 3: MOVING IMAGE, UNIVERSITY (UCA)

Really happy with the final blurt ident, I really wanted to convey a new wave feel and I think I’ve done that by incorporating a grid to convey the synth pop genre also using dynamic colours to fusion together to create vivid effects and animation. Using the echo effect on the main logo really plays with the definition of the word blurt which means shouting out or burst out with.

The moving videos really convey a retro feel as the animation is basic but effective and fits in with what I,m conveying and displaying a specific time period.

To improve this I would take my own footage of someone playing the guitar, painting, dancing and reading. I used stock footage from pixels.com as I was limited to resources during this difficult time.

To improve this I would include kinetic typography just to give it more flexibility by using letter forms to extend its appeal and to maintain its excitement and glee.

The song used for the ident is ‘Domino Dancing’ by the Pet Shop Boys (1988)

Final Three 10 second Animations

Final Three 10 Sec Animation, UNIT 3: MOVING IMAGE, UNIVERSITY (UCA)
I used an effect called echo which gives the text a ghostly trail.
Bubbles was well known for using dynamic colours and his flamboyant graphic designs during the punk/post-punk era, this experiment echos that genre, design approach and Bubbles himself.
The song used for this experiment is ‘Is there something I should Know?’ by Duran Duran (1983)
I timed the key frames at the same time when the characters are speaking.
Tarantino is well known for using extended dialogue in his films to increase tension or to maintain interest. This audio was taken from the “Hamburger” scene in his 1994’s Pulp Fiction.
I used the letter forms of the typeface Airstream’ and using the word blurt to give the sequence that abstract feel. Saul Bass was very simplistic when it came to displaying elements, text and form. This also captures the old style animation by just using up, down, left and right to display movement.
The song used for this experiment is ‘Nodisco’ by Depeche Mode (1981)
