Endless Cycle - Final

 

Storyboard for final project

 

The idea behind this project is to show the feeling of being isolated and 'trapped'. It seems as if we all know this feeling all too well now. I plan on projection mapping onto three separate squares with a looping video of myself walking between each square with no "escape". The video will add to the feeling of being 'trapped' inside a spatial area.

Tutorial - motion graphics projection mapping

So for the tutorial, I did two things - I learned a little bit more about Heavy M and how to create masks for projection mapping, and I also followed a tutorial for this growing 3d text tunnel. My project won't be for good times press but rather a project having to do with isolation.

Writing the script and coming up with ideas

 Here is a little into the process of the sound recordings as well as my thought process while brainstorming ideas.

Script

0:00 - 0:07  Introduction - needs no words

0:08 - 0:18 - has to be something with “2425 coal plants”

“The clean energy transition has begun, but there is still work left to do. There are currently 2425 coal plants in operation throughout the world.”

0:21 - 0:25  “In total, those plants produce over 14 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually”

0:26 - 0:35 “ In order to offset that much carbon dioxide, we would need to plant 464 million trees every single year “ 

0:36 - 0:52  It doesn’t have to be that way. Renewable technologies, such as wind turbines, can produce the power we need without harmful emissions, wind turbines are commonly co-located with farms to make more efficient use of our slimming land resource.

0:54 -1:01 [Change text to 115 million tons of CO2 annually]

“Around the globe, wind energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 115 million tons annually” 

1:03 - 1:08 “That's the equivalent of taking 20 million cars off the road”

1:08 - 1:16 “ Another promising green technology is solar photovoltaics - in australia a quarter of all homes have solar on their roof

1:16 - 1:26 “Solar power harnesses energy from the sun without producing emissions. The technology offsets 18.3 billion pounds of CO2 each year.”

1:26 - 1:40  “all that wind and solar energy means plenty of job opportunities - the green energy sector employed over 11 million people in 2018 - and that figure is growing by nearly 1 million jobs every year

1:40 - 1:55 “Global warming is an immediate threat to our lifestyles and to the lives of future generations. Clean energy relies on smart policy and regulations to drive adoption. November 3 is election day, get out and vote for a cleaner future.” 

Here is the nonsensical part of an open stream of consciousness just trying to get some ideas for the animation

Need to add a graph at the smokies smogies about carbon

Car dries by wind turbines - wind turbine is surrounded in rolling hills with farm animals - and starts shootin’ out some smoke - in the smoke says wind energy offsets the equivalent of 20 millon cars --- the smoke dissipates revealing a solar farm that has tomatoes and peppers - 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To offset the carbon footprint of 14.4 billion tons of co2 put off from these coal plants

You would have to plant 464000000 trees every year to offset 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wind energy reduces co2 emissions by 115 tons per year - that's the equivalent of taking 20 million cars off the road

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solar power worldwide offsets 18.3 billion pounds of c02 each year

I’m here to tell you about the dirty truth of the coal industry

Farm system goods wind turbines are on a farm - zoom to the right to show solar panels

Hit them with another chart about - a rooftop solar system  building a solar farm is like planting 130 trees 

Children laughing 

The future depends on it? something about the kids 

1:30? 2 minutes long

Green energy job opportunities

Globally the renewable energy sector employed 11 million people in 2018 and it grows nearly by 1 million jobs per year. 

“Vote for a cleaner future.”

Tutorial

I will be adding more to my previous project this time using effects regarding water pollution from coal factories.
 

project 3/4 progress

 Hey all here is my progress on my 3|4 project. I've still got quite a bit to do but i've got a good plan for it. I've found someone from 02 EMC (a solar panel tech company) who is an app state alumni with a masters in sustainable tech. He will be narrating the video. He's helped me a lot with the logistics and graphs that will become a later part of the video. I have the script written out I just need him to record the audio for it to place over the music.

Project three progress

Hey folks, here I've got a little progress on my project - the amount of information might make this a bit long so i'm trying to figure out how long between each transition i'll need in order to make it nice as well as figure out some sort of script for it. Perhaps starting with a script could be better so once I get that nailed down i'll have to animate the script 

 

storyboard

Here is my storyboard for project three - it'll start with a simple title slide relating to green energy and then transition into smog being blown out by a factory - it'll zoom out of the factory and into the earth where the globe is spinning but shrouded in smog in space - the smog will lift up from the earth and will zoom into the earth to reveal windmills pushing air around it and creating electricity - a bar graph will be masked over the windmill and will create a sense of emphasis. I will also possibly add solar panels and the sun later on in the video time permitting. 

 

Tutorial p.3

 

Hey all, I was having some technical difficulties loading this to youtube my computer really didn't want to but after several hours I guess it had been enough. So I'll be overlaying a mask and a bar chart over this area to feed information about green energy to the viewer. The idea of illustration will come through and i'll be using a spherical orb to represent earth (that'll make a little more sense with my next post)

Hope you are all well.

Tutorial

For my tutorial I chose to create a morphing triangle. I see this working out in project by having the different Adobe icons morphing from one to another. Or perhaps having icons of things I work with frequently changing back and forth from one another. 

Final Moving Type

 For the very first thing I learned how to do in After Effects... not bad! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out for the most part. I would go back and change a couple of things if I had some extra time but I enjoy it for now. This project was a great exercise for learning the fundamentals of after-effects and how certain parts of the program work.

Round two

 So, i've started to edit the type to my liking, adding subtle little line illustrations as well. I'm going to continue with the type and then add animations to the type and transitions between the words

Henry Rollins Motion Graphic - Kinetic Type

 Hello everyone! I decided to do this quote by the great Henry Rollins. So far all I have is the finished audio as well as synched up type to the audio. I would like to go back change the font and the way that its positioned. I was also thinking of adding small spot illustrations towards the end where he starts naming things you survive off of, I think that would be fun and break up the monotony of the text. Also adding transitions between each sentence. 

Test post

 Hello everyone! this is a test post to make sure this works! thanks!
