Final Cut for Ray-Ban Commercial

Another Roto Experience

Commercial for my group advertising campaign pitch in my Intro to Advertising class.

Zine -- updated

Final Project: Zine.
I chose to talk about "Volunteering." I volunteer every summer in Ecuador and I believe that in doing so, my life has drastically changed, and for the better. And I think that volunteering is something that everyone could benefit from. Whether its in another country, or here in the US. Its the people that influence you and change you on the inside.

Rotoscope

The original idea for my ending of the rotoscope short film was to have a person waking up in a slight panic, and realize that everything before was actually all just a dream.

In class, I received Collin's ending to be my beginning, which was someone shoots the sun and it falls out of the sky.

Progression Series

(1): Started out with basic shapes, color, outline.

















(2): Took away some shapes, and added new ones. Used more of the warp tool to distort original shapes, and used the blending moods. Took the stroke/outline off many shapes, and messed around with the opacity of a lot of the shapes.












(3): Once again, I kept some things constant, while changing the size/color/opacity of others.
















(4): Continued to experiment with color and opacity and blending moods. Shapes that remind throughout the first three, disappeared in this one.






Overall, I liked working in a progression-like fashion. Instead of restricting myself, there was a sense of experimentation that made it okay to not know exactly where I was headed, and having "happy accidents" as an end result was okay.

Series Continuation

So here are #s 3 and 4 of the series, which I think will conclude the entire series. Again, some things have remained the same, while others have change, particularly in color.












(#4)




I've really enjoyed working on this project. There was a certain freedom that I felt with creating a non-representational abstract piece.










(#3)

Project 2; Alterations

This a newer version. I used some of the other shapes from classmates who were posted later. I took advice from the Prof about the outline/stroke, and used some of the blending modes.

I'm probably going to make more alterations and then possibly use all of the images as a series of progression.

We'll see =)






(#2)

Project 2; Rough Draft

This was my first draft. Basically what I was going for here was pattern, color, texture. Abstract approach. Originally the outline/stroke technique was intentional. Plan to experiment with stroke technique, blending modes, and composition for further development.









(#1)

Project 2: Objects

These are my 8 objects (4 man made, 4 organic).

((Waves, boat, fish, man, spoon, leaves, rain boots, sunset))

Final Product

I re-worked some of the template. Final product will be a little larger than the previous models, and made out of cardboard.

Professor gave me an idea, but I'll see if I want to go with that or not. I'll leave that for the crit ...

So I used the copy that I had printed out already to trace an outline onto cardboard. WOrking with the cardboard was very different than working with paper. Instead of trying to make everything connect and fold here and fold there, it was easier to cut single pieces and inserted small holes to connect them together. I also used hot glue as well to secure the pieces and make it stronger.

I also used the hot glue to drawn in the face and details of the Lion. No reason why, just messing around with the materials.

I used acrylic paints to color in the Lion/Chair

This is the original paper cut out that I used. I used a few strips of cardboard to support this piece.

I plan to have multiple copies, almost as a series, for the final product. Showing different ways you could create and decorate this piece. This is something that can vary from person to person. There will be no set directions as to how the chair is decorated.

Lion Chair Continued

This is the general lay out of the body of the Lion (back, seat, and front legs of the chair).

This is the general lay out of the back legs of the Lion (back legs of the chair and underneath).

This what the final product will potentially look like.

All this was done in Illustrator, then I printed it out. And of course while I was cutting out the first copy to see if everything would align properly and all, my computer logged me out and I lost everything. But I have printed a 2nd copy, so I'm hoping to scan that into the computer and "Live Trace & Expand" to my points and paths back.

Update...

For some reason I can't upload the pdf file for my Illustrator progress... But I've gone with the chair idea, as a Lion template. I have partialy mini cut-out for today. From working on this mini version, I had made some alterations to the template. Trial and Error.

Project 1 in progress

Some ideas for project #1.

Instead of just a regular chair...

Brainstorming....
