Motion Tracking Demo

Here is a short demo that I have made for the progress report, using the techniques discussed in my sketchbook and style suggested previously...

Filming

All of the green screen footage is now complete!
We followed a basic plan to ensure that all aspects were covered, outlined within my sketchbook.

Some samples:

Filming setup

A bit late

.. some diagrams for what needs to be included

Colour Guidance

To help with implementing the visual style guide I made the following images to show a sample of the colour scheme in action within the app (not the layout though, as this is outwith my area).

FINAL STORYBOARD

Progress

Finalising the storyboard edit; added transitions by animating the stages to fade in and out as well as adding a slight digital style effect.. currently rendering..

Before adding the text...

Storyboard Work

I have decided to make up the storyboard using green screen shots and turning them into silhouettes, for the backgrounds I will draw them in and add the appropriate text.

Further update and tracking

We have had an obstical thrown at us as Topshop will not grant us access to film in their store but we are thinking of ways to work our way around this, through photo manipulation and perhaps filming in a smaller independant store we will get around it.

Green screen work from Friday came in terms of working with tracking. It was useful as it made it clear to me the movements the characters can make etc combined with lighting and colour.

Here is an example:

Ahead of our next presentation to NCR, I will be making a full storyboard for the advert. I plan to make it to a high standard so that I can submit it as a document in May. The next week (following my crit presentation tomorrow) will be devoted to this. I aim to uodate this blog with research and development.

Style

We have decided that instead of using speech within the advert we will use graphics to display the actions on the app/panels/ between characters.
We are getting help from Jonny Harris, who made the graphics for the following show with Kevin Bridges. We hope to achieve something similar.

We have met with Jonny ahead of our green screen meeting this week and have learnt how to do some simple tracking, I hope to utilise this tomorrow before we meet with him again next week.
