WDIGTS Waiting on Formal Crits & Developing Motion Graphics

I've been talking to the people reviewing my materials, and, so far, they are telling me that I should look through books' table of contents and that it looks pretty comprehensive. I HAVE looked through books, which has, hopefully, helped with covering bases. I think that graphic design will be where most criticism comes. I'm looking forward to getting input from Kristin and Melissa.

I'm pretty excited about the motion graphics for this project. I think that I am leaning towards a drawing effect. I want to stay away from studio looking visuals, because I don't have access to the 100s of 1,000s of dollars worth of equipment to record looking nice, and recording specific equipment will date my materials much more than staying with generic visuals like camera and lens, rather than specific models.



There is an example when the video separates into quarters of the drawing effect that I may go for. [1:14] I used this in a class project for a class taught by Kevin Williams. I've grown a lot since my first semester of college, and I think that I could do a much better job, especially now that I'm not working on a cheap laptop that would make me wait fifteen minutes per preview.

I'm also very excited for the sub videos for the categories. I will be creating these, bearing in mind that I will be using these videos on a loop as one of my primary displays at our showing. I want them to flow well, but I want them to be individual videos, as they will be viewed independently through the actual website.
