Ident 1

This is the original storyboard i created for this ident. It gives an idea of what i wanted to create, although the ship isn't the design i am going to use. I left the storyboard a little vague because i knew that the assets wouldnt be exactly the same but it has given the framing and the timing i would use in the actual ident

This is the basic concept for the ship ident. I have pulled all my assets together, i am really happy with the conept, because its pretty much what i wanted to create with my storyboards. The next stage was adding the text.




Here i have added the text to the sequence. The main problem i am having with this, is getting the text to move with the movement of the sail so that it looks like one smooth movement from the center to the for front of the screen. I am not sure how to do this. I tried doing the whole parenting and child things with layers, but it didn't seem to work.

I like the start of this ident, it works on the whole 'ship of in the smokey distance'.

By adding the spot light like i have it makes it look like you're looking down the

telescope. 

Pulling the spot light back and scaling the ship helps give the

illusion of the ship pulling into the center frame. 

I've also used opacity in order give the extra depth of perspective.

Using the camera i zoomed into the top mast pulling up the text.

But this is where the problem lies, the text moves as 

the mast moves which isn't what i want.

You can't really see it clearly in these screen grabs, but what

you can see is what i want to create, because they lack motion. 

By spending a few seconds on both masts means that you

can see the text and information clearly.
