Flip books final

Flip books turned out to be a lot more difficult than i had anticipated with the overall design, cutting and binding of all the pieces that were needed to create each one.  I like the way each one turned out I feel like this will be a great addition to my portfolio overall.  I create an overall container for the project. And than three individual containers for the heart, sushi, and the cloud.  Each one is unique to its character and have short animations nothing too long or too complex.  Overall I am very happy with the end result of the project and it was well worth the time it took to make them.

My project is a flip book. It will actually be a set of five flip books, each one with their own animation sequence. The books will each be an example of a type of business card or self promotion. The booklets will each be a four second animation that will each be about 50 pages long. The last four pages will be my contact information because the last pages are usually lost when the viewer starts to run out of pages while flipping. I want to create an interesting way to make my own way of self promotion.

three ideas for final projects...

1. I had the idea of a flip book that uses the frame by frame animation made in flash as its basic makeup.  I would use screen shots from the animation as it moves to create my prints and design my book in that way. The project would not be done in a hand drawn aesthetic it would be very computerized and look very computerized.  Vector art mostly would be used. I want it very color full and very vibrant.  There is a video that i can't seem to find about walking up the stairs and its very simple and is using vector animation to create the look and feel.  I would like to do something of that sort like making toast or some other thing that we do and don't really think about. 



2. A similar project to the poster i printed off for project 15, but three large posters at 24 x 30. These posters will have an incredible high evolution and each one will show the objects and design pieces that I chose turned and fighting for position in the space. I want two print in blank and one printed in white, these would be the background colors of the three. With the hanging I want the White in the middle to show high contrast.  I am thinking that chess pieces are going to be my objects of choice.  The pieces would start off in line as they appear on the game board as the animation starts they will move forward slightly and than begin moving  around the space intended.  Like in a real chess games each piece will fight for space and I will try to show the interaction of pushing against each other to gain the advantage in the area presented.  Almost like a war between the piece the white background piece will be the end of the war while the black background pieces will show the pushing and "war" as it is happening. 

3. A fully realized portfolio sight that contains links, a resume, and all projects done the field of design. I want  the sight to be very sleek and simple. I would like to be able to create a sight that i would be able to show to clients and employers.

project 15

The idea behind this piece was to create a poster that showed the movement in space along with some idea of the lapse of time.  I chose to put it in a large three panel format to help create the sensations of both movement and time.  I did take the screen shots into photoshop to create a stronger contrast between the colors, white, and black.  The overall result is a 28x10 poster and i feel that the result is quite captivating. 

Final flash for this piece.
