Dvd case

Nw with a bit of work I made my case seem a bit more interesting. I incorporated the ESPN logo at the top left and also added the basic information on the side such as the Module and year of brief. Also with the title of what the dvd is about.

On the back I added a star just to make it seem more american (stars and stripes) which I think looks really good, But could appear as though it is based upon Orlando Magic. I may have to get rid of it due to that.

I added dvd content in there and other standard dvd information I added logos of brands which the dvd is formed around and also a barcode with the module code added at the bottom.

I think that I am close to the final draft of this. and I believe it works really well.

I think I want to make a leaflet on the inside with information about my work on it if I have the time. I think that would be pretty cool and help out.

DVD case

So I thought as I am a Graphic Designer it may be a good idea to produce a case and Dvd photo. I have chosen to stick with the basic Allstar top ten legends title as it states what the dvd is about. and the colour scheme does also.

Now the fist dvd I made looks like this:

And I think it looks really cool but when it is linked in with my case it doesn't look exactly right. That was when I decided on testing what It would look like with my cover colour and I honestly think it looks really good and will look a lot better when printed.

I have chosen to do a title sequence on Basketball legends I believe that my subject is very clear with the strengths being basketball related material i.e. ball bouncing and animation also the colour tone being red white and blue, NBA.
I wanted the mood to be quite in your face and extreme, as I am advertising it for late night ESPN (American sports channel) but I did not want to cause any offence by being to extreme and corny. I believe the starting sequence work very well in telling you that it is about sports and most likely basketball. It then goes into more detail about what is being shown. I have decided to save the programs title for the end, In order to keep the viewer interested.

I wanted to advertise this to male sports fans, over 21’s, American audience which according to a lot of my I-dent and introduction footage to basketball games it covers. I believe the colour scheme is very American and pays compliments to the stars and stripes, Which they are very proud of.

I do think my video needs a bit more work such as audio and it also needs to be cropped as some of the footage is far too long and does drag on a little. I plan to shorten this video down and make it short and snappy at certain sequences to keep the audience entertained. Sports fans like excitement, thrill and surprise like in a match. Not like when watching bowls. Which is exactly what my video has to be.

222 layers of illustrations later

It was at this point that I had to take screen grabs from the 'short' film at certain frames per second. I then took them into photoshop and edited them there 'fairly fast' although the quality was awful. It was then when I decided that I would use illustrator and vector draw them all, and so I ended up hand drawing with the pen tool the out line of each individual frame and then uploading it on a new layer. I ended up with 222 layers which was then divided down into two illustrator files.
I believe they look quite interesting when all together and coloured in. speaking of colour, i used the colour red rather than blue or white because it resembled a visual link to basketball all fans have which is the famous Air Jordan black and red colour scheme.

Storyboard scannings (late)

I should of uploaded all these storyboards a long time ago, but I have been lazy and used my slow scanner at home as an excuse . Some of these thumbnails went as I wanted them to although I wasn't so sure about areas in some of them. I thought the colour scheme tied in very much with what I wanted to say and who i wanted to say it to although basketball player part seemed very long drifted in animating. Which now I look back on in association with my video it is. I just need to cut it down.

Up to date

So when I made the previous video I had forgotten about using movie and that we it was not allowed in our brief. In all honesty I couldn't of used it anyway due to the backing not being on Green screen. It was at this point I had to do something else.
