AM for motion graphics

I just finished a small presentation for the Wesley Mission. Their major symbol is the dove so I built a simple 3d dove as a unifying element. The project only had a two day turnaround, so I rendered it in realtime shaded mode and then used Mirage to add drop shadows. I also rendered the doves to load into Mirage's particle engine for the transitions.

Unfortunately it's not streaming so it'll take a while to load (5mb), or you can right click and save the swf.

Nicely done.

 

My only critique was that it was hard to read the statistics while the birds were flying over them.

John,

 

I really liked the over all feel of the piece and it was very nicely done.

 

I have to agree that it is difficult to impossible to read the handwritten facts through the birds.. That would be helped immensely if the text scrolled down rather than up... (but maybe that's the way they read "down under?").

I agree about the hand written stuff. It goes by way too fast. I did get certain words and percentages that 'poped" out though. I did love the use of them in the cuts between.

Thanks for the comments...

You're right about the legibility of the text...but it was taken from a book given to everyone who attended the dinner it was shown at, and was the subject of a predinner talk. So I couldn't/didn't want to steal the thunder from main event.

The video was just to be played as people sat down at a fundraising dinner, if they paid attention, they got glimpses at most. It was fun to do....but I imagine most of the invitees where probably introducing themselves and/or catching up with friends.

As for the direction, I just couldn't train the birds to fly backwards
