A five second logo


Recommended Posts

Here's a five second logo I worked on for a friend with the original concept drawing that he provided. I made 640x480, 1280x720 and 1920x1080 versions...this is the 1280x720 version...1.0 gamma, H264 compressed Quicktime.

 

There are plenty of things I wish I had done better, but I think overall it came out alright.

That's lovely and beautiful! Well Done!

 

My only suggestion would be to have some way that the text was not readable at the very outset but I'm not sure how that would be done.

SORRY- I didn't see your question till now... how would I 'approach' this...? I guess 2-3 basic things might help:

 

-Put an 'aim-at' null in the center of the logo, and constrain the camera directly on it, this will eliminate the 'swing' arc motion it seems to have as it moves in...

-The camera move is quite linear, which is good at the end because of the sudden SLAM! but maybe put an ease in at the start of the move.

-I might employ the use of FOG, set to eliminate the seam in the background. You can always turn your logo model to 'ignore fog'.

-Since your camera move seems to be primarily 'showing off' the depth of the model (which is cool) maybe put a little bit of Y (up and down) action in it as well... so the cam would start out a little higher, and stop where it stops now.

-I might look into adding a little dust kick-up to emphasize the SLAM! action... even if it just eminates and disappears quickly.

 

ooops. that was more than 2 or 3. hope this helps.
