It needs a bit of tweaking but here it is so far.

Redefining the Waves

Got some really good feedback from the meeting on Thursday. Thanks everyone. Things to do included refining the waves from my experiments and building up an eclectic selection of of items to be bobbing about in the waves. I will also need to source some sounds. It was suggested that there could be a mixture of different sounds for everything that swims past.
I redrew the waves by tracing the shape from a Greek style tile and I'm happy with it now. Just need to get on with the rest of it!

Experiments

Experiments in making a seascape.

I've made a test image in Photoshop based on the previous video. The background is made up of circuit board images. I've used a series of gradients and opacities to make the sky and waves. They're all on different layers. Maybe the waves are too flat.

More Illustrators

This time a collage from amherst-maps.com and an illustration from sunberst.com

Illustrations

These illustrations come from www.rexbox.co.uk and www.ripsey.com I'd say that both styles could be animated fairly easily and would work well on screen.

Living inside a Pollock

After Effects animation

I picked it out because I was impressed with the sense of depth and motion. I thing something similar would work well if you were looking at representing the technology works - sharing information, electricity etc.

So, I have a four week project set by YCN to create an advert for Current TV based on "Connectivity".

About Current

Since its inception in 2005, Emmy award-winning Current TV has been the world's leading peer-to-peer news and information network. Current is the only 24/7 cable and satellite television network and Internet site produced and programmed in collaboration with its audience. Current connects young adults with what is going on in their world, from their perspective, in their own voices.

With the launch of Current.com, the first fully integrated web and TV platform users can participate in shaping an ongoing stream of news and information that is compelling, authentic and relevant to them.

Current pioneered the television industry's leading model of interactive viewer created content (VC2). Comprising roughly one-third of Current's on-air broadcast, this content is submitted via short-form, non-fiction video "pods". Viewer Created Ad Messages (VCAMs) are also open to viewer's participation.

Current's programming ranges from daily pop culture coverage to political satire in "SuperNews," unprecedented music journalism in "The Current Fix," and unique insights into global stories through Vanguard and Citizen Journalism.

Current is now viewed in the U.S. and U.K. in more than 51 million households through distribution partners Comcast (Channel 107 nationwide), Time Warner (nationwide), DirecTV (channel 366 nationwide), Dish Network (channel 196 nationwide), Sky (channel 193) and Virgin Media Cable (channel 155).
