VIVI MAGAZINE
Vivi magazine is a fashion magazine from Japan, which focus on woman’s trend and lifestyle. I choose this fashion magazine because I want to do what I like and feel most comfortable with. Moreover Japan culture and style has been my favorite since I went there for the first time.
ILLUSTRATION
Illustration is not really my best area of technique but it’s the technique that most fitting to this project. It’s able to provide a clean image and smooth animation. Furthermore I think it is the style that corresponds with 3D.
3D
I add 3D into the mix because I want the project to be more interesting. As using only illustration is nice but I think it seems a bit boring. Moreover I also want to experiment something I never do before, as I want to improve and not struck doing the same thing allover again.
DECISION EXPLANATION
MOOD
I want to present a happy mood to the audiences. Upbeat would be something that cheers you up, while refreshing is connect with the theme of the magazine and also good to look at. Then I also want to make it addictive, as every good advertises should be.
COLOR TONE
Pink is to represent the sweet and girly style of the magazine as it’s also Vivi main theme color. I want to convey many feminine tones so I think I’m going use a lot of pink shades. On the other hand, white is to represent the clean and pure image as to show that the magazine is full of innocent and lively models. Yellow is an important extra color because it’s fun and addictive.

Reka is a TV spot that made by using Cinema 4D. I like it because it’s bright and cheerful. The colors Rauscher used are very lively and that connect to my theme of color scheme. As for the technique is good too, with the pop up style animation and simple gradient to create the depth of field. Moreover the transition of the animation is very smooth which make it flows nicely. It also has good advertising strategy for the travel agency, as it’s very flashy and attractive especially for young kid. Therefore if the kid interests, it’s easy to persuade the parents.
INSPIRATION JP MORGAN CHASE CHANGE BY MCGARRYBOWEN http://vimeo.com/18978783
Change is the advertising for JP Morgan Chase, the organization that helps lending fund for the struggle American family. It is a mix between 2D and 3D animation which using both Cinema 4D and After Effect. I really like the clean and sharp style it presented because the white color it used can be interpret as sincere intention. The tint of other colors also complement the whole look of animation, making it more warm and mushy. The art is pretty and eye catching. I like that the creator makes the use of white and paper texture connection as well as the animation dynamic.

I choose this because I like the story line and the way they presented the animation according to the plot. There are also a lot of camera angles, which make the animation look more interesting. Furthermore, I love the transition between scenes and the good used of particle effect in After Effect.

Community is another advertising for JP Morgan Chase, which is similar to “Change” in both technique and style. The different are the camera angle and the wider approached of space. I like that it creates the continuously scenes with the expanding effect that actually helps to convey the massage of being a big company. The art is as nice as the early one and might be a bit better because in here we’re able to see more perspectives. The pop up book style is slightly more versatile than the usual pop up style with just a book and turning pages. The clever way of putting the objects together to create those scenes is what makes it stand out.

http://vimeo.com/36406569

The art style is unique and the animating is good, especially the color changing part of the animation. Its fun and very energetic, which really fit the title of “Release you imagination�. I love the wild imagination that it presents as my project need a lot of that as well.

This is my most favorite inspiration I choose, as it is something that I really want to achieve. Fairytale and pop-up book have always come together since I was very young, however the enhancement of them never changes. The technique that makes it look like paper is great and the colors present are harmonious. I especially favor the connection of each story by using the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

Hitch is the project focus on “The Ultimate Hitch Cookbook” which contains the recipes of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic. The animation using both 3D and vector based animation. I like the tone of colors with a bit of pastel here and there. It makes the animation look more refreshing and tasty. I inspire by the used of both 3D and vector based animation from here as it look pretty and interesting. Even though Hitchcock’s movie is usually categorized in the terrifying section, this animation turns the table around and makes Hitchcock into something cute.

Seasons is a surreal motion graphics animation that based on the changing seasons of the world. It combines the used of After Effect, Illustration, Cinema 4D and Photoshop together to created this abstract work. The point I like the most in this animation is transition between the seasons by using line, curve, character, light and ink to create the continuous process of change. The colors that Erica chose for each season are also very fitting as well as the hidden meaning of each animation scene. I particularly like the transition between the ink to fish and between the owl eyes to peacock tail.

33mm is a short animation about 35 of Monaco favorite movies in the simplest from by using just 2 minutes time. It’s such an intelligent concept for animation and the outcome looks very clever as well. I saw it and I able to pick out what movie is from that simple vector animation pretty quickly.

Sometime simplistic is the best and I quite belief in “Less is More” theory.

Treat me is an advert of Bruce’s Fish and Chip restaurant. The animation is done mainly in After Effect while the some objects in the animation is from picture and Photoshop. I like how Brooking uses yellow as the main color because according to some meaning of color book I read before, yellow make you hungry so it is fitting. Other bright colors like red and aqua are good complementation as well. The minimalist style is nice, not too bare and not too details either. The advert is working quite well as I got hungry when I watched it.
INSPIRATION A DASH OF THAT BY JORDAN SCOTT http://vimeo.com/36298655
A dash of that is an animation that Jordan Scott made for his wife, Katie Scott as she starting a tumblr blog about baking and cooking. It used purely vector and a lot of masking. I love the colors that seem to be deep pastel because it looks shade darker than the usual pastel color. The masking technique is very smooth too. The animation is portrayed in a simple yet captivating way. Scott uses all solid color and adding shadow by just using solid on top of solid or some pattern. It makes the animation look more simplistic than using the gradient and gives out a really vector feel.

The illustration is presented in both 2D and 3D animations, therefore it able to create a nice contrast with each other.

How green is your Internet is the info graphic animation about how much energy humans spend by using an Internet. The animation used Illustration and 3D space in After Effect. The style of this motion graphic can be related to the pop-up style, as the element in the animation seems to be popping up from the floor. I like the simple art and silhouette feeling. The colors also softly contrast and the green background gives out an unusual Green peace mood. I like the good animating of information text as well.

The sudden change from day to night is pretty splendid and I the light of the nighttime look particularly awesome.

On top of that, the animation itself is finely animated. My favorite scene is when the diamond transition into the tunnel and extend all the way back. Everything is just so pink and girly.

Wrights of spring is an Illustration animation with a great story telling and wonderful aesthetics. Its about 20% Cell animation and 80% After Effect. The line art is pretty and the tempo is not boring. I primarily like the simple colors and simple stokes as it reminds me of a vintage era. Its little detail also looks smashing.

It is something that really fit its’ objective.
EXPERIMENT CREATING AND ANIMATING 3D BOOK
EXPERIMENT CREATING AND ANIMATING 3D BOOK
As my project is about magazine so it required the book animation, therefore I tried to create a flipping book pages using Cinema 4D. I read some tutorial online for an insight and decide to experiment it. First, I created the plane object then change the mode to point mode. After that I moved the pivot point to the side of the plane so its movement would resemble a real book. Secondly, I put the Clothilde Tags into the plane to make the movement more realistic. I tweaked the gravity value and put some keyframe into time line. Finally, I adjust the force number to control the wind value and movement. Then I change the color of the book and background as well as at some light into the scene. I rendered the animation out and put it into after effect to make it longer. Therefore, I can create the flipping book for my project now and the experiment is successful.
