//Project 2 PROCESS//

_IDEAS I love infographics, so for this project, i want to do a moving infographic. something that incorporates photography, but is mainly vector-based.

media type="custom" key="5539461" (i like the graphic treatment in this one, but not so much the actual video)

media type="custom" key="5816413" I disike both pepsi and diet pepsi, but i like this!

I'm thinking of a moving instruction manual for a camera, with information about the buttons and functions as well as cross-section labelling of parts.



_SCANS here are just a few scans of the the Yashica 35ME manual...i really like the aesthetic of it, and how it combines black and white photography with colourful vectors. it's pretty special.

_COMPS

two short self-contained animations (extended cuts): media type="youtube" key="CHQwooXTs00" height="344" width="425" ..... media type="youtube" key="_TqUoWQ9mDM" height="344" width="425"

quasi-final video without audio. media type="youtube" key="_E1PK4qhZKQ" height="344" width="425" i made the mistake of leaving audio to the last minute. although i was planning to do a voice-over, i underestimated the time it would take for me to say the necessary explanations. originally, my full video came in at about 1:20, but after recording the audio [and making a conscious effort to say things as fast //and clearly// as possible] i found that i had to completely re-cut my video to sync up with it.

_AUDIO Intially i found the plain voice-overs were too dry by themselves, so i decided to add some very soft/subtle background music. my first choice was Deadmau5's "Maybe Sometimes", but it was only a minute long. i managed to edit it so that it fit to 2:17 (the complete duration of my video) but it got a little repetitive so i decided to go with Orbital's Chime (a 13-minute whopper) that provided more audio to work with.
