Our 2D Animated Commercial!

And so here it is! Our 2D Animated Commercial! Overall, both Amy and I are really happy with hoe everything turned out. Neither of us had used Dragon Frame before so everything was really new to us! Creating the characters certainly took some patience but I think they turned out really nice. The music flows really well with the advert which is really nice. 

When it came to editing we had to slow down and speed a few clips up, just to make it run nice and smoothly. 

I hope you enjoy :)



2D Animation

Proposal

Statement of Intent

ANIMATION STATEMENT OF INTENT...

For this brief, Amy and I set out to create a 30 second animated 2D commercial with original sound. We wanted to create a commercial for an online dating website, with two characters who meet online, decide to meet up and eventually fall in love. 

We intend to do this using stop-motion animation with dragon frame on the Mac. We will create the characters with card, the background with tissue paper and add hinges from blue tack so that all movements are smooth. For every movement we will take an individual picture and then upload it to a computer. This will then be put onto Final Cut Pro for us to edit. 

Agreed Permission to Music

We heard back from someone Amy and I worked with over the Summer about a track we recorded and edited for him. He gave us his permission to use a 30 second clip of his song in our animation advert. 

If you would like a little listen, here is the song we will be using! 

George Sims - A Song For You

We are really happy with the music, it's the perfect pace for the couple to walk along to. It's also quite romantic, which fits with the theme of two people meeting for the very first time and falling in love. 

Logo

The logo for our animation came from a website called 'dafont.com'. This is a great website for creating fonts for productions, with a huge variety of themes and fonts to fit any production. 

The one we have chosen for our animation is called 'Jenna Sue Font' which is in the handwriting section. It's a lovely font, quite feminine and delicate. It's easy to read, but also looks professional. 

Finally, for our animation Amy suggested we put a heart on the dot for the eye, to work with the idea that this is an online dating website advert. So we went onto Word, found an image of a heat, made it red and moved it onto our logo. This looks really nice and we have used it for the placement at the end of our animation advert.
