Edits and Tests

Game Over

This test was made in after effects using several images and 3D layers. A camera was used on a Z axis and key framed to fly through the layers. This short sequence was made during the after effects sessions.


The End After Effects Test

This video was made using several layers of video and images to create motion within the image. The fire is a video effect and the rest on the animation was key framed. this video was made during the after effects sessions in class.


Explosion Test

I created this video in after effects, this was created using several masks and layers. The explosion has been masked to explode in front and behind the car another layer of smoke and debris has been added to the footage to create a sense of realism.


Ice Test


This video was a test time lapse for the snowball earth concept during the first stages of development. This was shot on a canon 5D using an intervelometer set at 40" every 1 second using a 50mm lens. The video was shot over 2 hours for around 5 seconds footage, this was not a feasible concept as the camera would have to be set in one spot for up to 48 hours to shoot one time lapse.


Imaginary Friends Test - Interim Crit

The video above is the initial test of the imaginary friends concept, this idea was really well received in the interim crit and i was told that this would be a really good concept to pursue. however it was noted in the interim crit that i should consider creating text that was hand generated.


Imaginary Friends Text Edit

The next stage of the production involved a few more shots than the previous video and i experimented with hand generated typography and a courier font like the movie se7en used. This edit was done before all of the footage was shot so it did not use the basis of summer on the swing set to lead the narrative.


Final Edit - I used to Believe (Title Sequence)
