10:25 h1 Sport Showcase – You’re hired

This is a team Sprint and you will be graded together. Teams are self selecting 4 teams total.
(2 teams of three, 2 teams of four).

Objective:
Create a 30 second promo for h1 sport using After Effects & Premiere (as necessary)

Link to the files
Use what is relevant for your promo, you do not have to use all the files

Deliverables:

  • KanBan Board outlining the details of the project (shared with me and all members)
  • Storyboard
  • Music – Use what is provided
  • Motion tracking of some kind (1, 2 or 4 point)
  • Animated logos
  • Visual Effects
  • No less than 4 cutaways
  • Transitions as appropriate
  • Use the logo
  • 30 seconds max/min
  • HD
  • Export as .mp4
  • Filename: h1sport_promo.mp4

To really be successful, your team should break up into roles. There are many roles:

  • KanBan Manager
  • Storyboard artist
  • Storyboard writers
  • Special Effects / Visual Effects editors
  • Sound Editors
  • Producers / Directors
  • Scrum Master
  • TimeKeeper
  • Animator(s)
  • Compositor
  • Creative Director

The Due date for all deliverables and review of the final promo for the Client is set for Wednesday, September 29th at 10am

I cannot stress enough the importance of using your KanBan board to plan.
You are on track today if you have:

  • Divided up Roles
  • Reviewed all the footage
  • Held a planning session to outline story
  • Build a storyboard

Of course every group will manage differently.

12:45 Motion Graphics – Working with Type

Kinetic typography—the technical name for “moving text”—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.

These Ford Commercials are a classic example

We haven’t done too much with text. Today and next week we’ll explore more about text properties.
