Brand New Noro Song Sample

We used this song in our presentation which we are currently not sure if we will include in the final piece because my mate Paul is thinking about remixing tracks giving a better consistency through out the video

Presentation feedback

This is the feedback from the sheets we handed out after giving our pitch to the class on an animation video. If you click on the images you will be able to see what other people in the class thought to our idea of an animation. I picked out the best ones and uploaded them.

These feekback sheets gave us ideas on the story itself like how it could be improved. The initial story was to have the character drink something at night and him being thrown in to another world while feedback from other users has led us to believe that maybe the character walking through a forest would be a better approach.

Also we are thinking about how it would be possible to do the animation. Either just having it a straight animation or having the animations flickering like a sort of book which is different and can also look more effective to the style we are actually after. We would like to thank the people that gave us feekback for this.

Presentation

This is our presentation that we had to do infront of the class to get feedback from our pitch.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard concept that Paul drew to show how the animation would start and finish. Due this being just a proof of concept to start with its subjected to change during the general deveolpment of the video.

We are currently working on a more professional style of the storyboard in more detail to upload at a later date.

The character concepts that we have come up with are shown below. Currenty they are concept art but we are aiming to have these in the finished product

Salad Fingers animation

Salad Fingers animation

This is a really good example on how to do a successful animation. While not being a music video it’s the main animation that we are looking at because we are hoping to execute something similar to this style of animation. Salad Fingers is considered very successful as it attracts millions of watches to see episodes of the popular animation.

The animation itself is pretty simple with only basic movements but is still effective to a degree it keeps the viewer interested.

Since we are doing a music video the story line does not interest us when we are looking at the video but from what I saw while watching the video the story is mostly random.

Project Ideas

This is the idea sheet our group came up with for the start of the project. The initial ideas we came up with were both music videos because we thought it would be the best possible way to demonstrate something we are both familiar with.

The issues we came up with though for both are the fact they both would require a group of people to make the video effective and not boring. Due to our research we came up with a sort of party is the most generic style of music videos out there. This is because they are aimed at teens and go towards the target audience of a band playing over a party.

When we come to show our presentation we will most likely only pitch one idea because looking at the idea sheet we wont be able to actually do the ones we came up with due to limitations like no instruments, not enough people etc

We are currently looking in to ways on how this can be worked around and still offer a stylish look in to the music video. I’m researching in to animation and to see how we can benefit from using it.
