Overall Evaluation

Overall the whole band identity work out very well there isn't allot i would change it started out to be hard but as well was going along the work load seem less then what was asking for. I am very happy with what i came out with and all the final product but there are little things that i would change due to models and being more organized.

Video Evaluation

For this video we had to create a stop motion and the first thing i thought off was a lego movie and after looking at many different stop motion videos as a group we decided to do a lego one because i looked fun as-well as challenging. 
To start off with we had to gather all the lego piece and start to make a test video to see what we need to do when we do the real thing as we did this we decided on a song which was Linkin Park- One Step Closer. 
The final video was shot in the studio and it was very challenging everyone contributed to move the lego people and it became harder wen it was put into movie editing but the final video work out very well. if i was to do this again i would change anything it all worked out and the video works really well with the song. 

CD Cover Evaluation

To start off with i had to decide on a band name for the poster and the CD i came up with the Struggle Within i used this because its one of my friends old band that are no longer together i also had to come up with a album name and i decides on as daylight fade because i heard it in a song at the time and it works well with the Struggle Within. 
After coming up with the name i found a CD cover template and started to design the cover and for this we was asked to use our own images. So i went out and photographed what could go on a album as i did not want to have people on the front as thats very typical. in the end i used photographs of graffiti and edited in photoshop i also used text from www.dafont.com and i downloaded certain brushes for photoshop. After creating and designing the CD cover i made to poster which is a similar design to the CD cover i did this because it shows branding for the band. 
if i was to do this all again i would find a real band and work for them and create things that they want and photograph the band.

Final Lego Movie

This is our final music video for one step closer:

Stages Of Editing


 These are screen grabs of different stages of editing it shows adding images and putting on the music. The whole editing video process took about two hours to get the video in time with the music and get the pictures in the video in the right place and getting the right sounds and music.

Update

Today I is editing the music video the idea behind this is to complete the editing process. We used a cannon EDS1000 with standard lens of 18- 55mm and a 55mm macro lens. It starts off from real life and carrys on to the leg animation. Each image we adjusted to gain the rquired length. the location we used was the studio  as there was more lighting to get light on to the main subject. The main roles were: Me-director, Ash-designer and i moved each subject as every image was taken. The original idea was discussed in a group.
