Animation 300 Word Rationale Lalalaaa
Outline of my tv ident animation.
Over the past 3 weeks I had the task to create a 30 second animation of a tv ident using 3d Studio Max. The ident was based on myself for example your facebook, twitter or something about you, which then merged together to create an ident for your own TV station.
I did find the software difficult to grasp in the first week & it didnt help that I missed a seminar due to a driving test so I watched online tutorials which did help alot & found it a little easier to use when I had familiarised myself with the software. We were shown examples & inspiration ideas from the bbc idents but I wanted something that was more feminine as BBC has a wide ranged audience.
I researched into Living Tv idents as this is a tv station aimed at females. I found a youtube video with many living idents ( on previous post on blog) in which I got many ideas from. From researching and developing some inspiration, I came up with a few designs that I designed. Some ideas wouldn't work due to my ability of skills using 3dsMax, but I had a basic idea which I thought would work well.
To make my ident relate to me I simply used my name Hollie and although I did want a heart as the "o" in my name I had to change it to a star as i couldn't make a heart on the software. My text was bright pink to represent the femimine side of me with a white background to contrast the bright text. Most people decided to have a character in their animation although I found it quite tricky to make one on the software. I decided to have balloons lifting the "o" in my name which was shaped as a star to reach the other letters of my name floating in the air by balloons.
I used the "bomb" effect on the balloons to make them pop and the letters fall, except the star which floated back down. I then added sound using Adobe Premiere Pro. Sound was important for my animation to get the effect of the balloons popping.
The genre for my ident is aimed at females & I think it will hopefully attract the audience as as feminine person I have done what I know what will work. Semiotics is in which the signs relate to what the audience sees. For example seeing my pink ident will semantically mean to the audience that they are watching that tv station. Tropes from what I can understand is what TV writers, actors & directors use to control the audiences outlook. Tropes are often used to show fiction, which helps us to not just focus on the reality in life, which is why people think badly about different tropes they have seen.

Yesterday was the final animation seminar & i've pretty much completed it but need to render it to put on vimeo. I am going to do this tomorrow after tutor.

An Hour On &
I've made about 5 balloons & started to animate. Hour & half left.. time to get Andy on the case! :)
!!!!
In animation have been for about 2 hours & all I have managed to do is this:
Ha it looks like crap, I need to animate it still, ADD SOUND?! & render it to put onto vimeo.
It looks nothing like my design ( on previous post ) as I have given up trying to draw a heart.
NOT a happy child right now

Bonjour :)
I'm still really ill & fed up of visits to the doctors now! Context wasn't on today so have only got animation seminar 3 - 6 but have come in early. Planned to come in for 11 and get some animation done as I missed last week but my train was delayed by a nice two hours so slightly later than expected..
Now going to attempt my tv ident with no help from Andy until my seminar. I could be very angry / frustrated by the end of this seminar. Last animation lesson before it is due in & tbh I am pretty behind :(

Design For Ident..
The first image is doodling I did in the drawing seminar. This gave me ideas for my ident to do my name & I then did the blog on the living tv idents in which I liked the idea of the balloons with my name. I don't know how well this will work on 3dsmax but will give it a try! :)

Tv Ident Ideas
Decided to start researching ideas for my tv ident animation..
The fact that it has to be based on my twitter, blogger and facebook rolled into one makes the topic very easy to create around.. me :)
My blog is very pink & feminine and decided this is how I want to portray myself in my ident too. When looking at the bbc idents ( on previous blog ) the problem is that bbc is a very general tv station male, females, young, old, gay, straight. So to give me some ideas I thought of tv channels that are aimed at women so I could have a look at the idents they use. For example living tv has programmes such as Americas Next Top Model, Dating In The Dark & Four Weddings. Here is the link to the website.. www.livingtv.co.uk
By looking at idents aimed at women it would give me ideas on how to make my ident feminine.
I absolutely love some of these such as the balloons lifting the "living" text. The colours offset well together, white text with bright coloured balloons. The ones with the light shining on them to create a shadow are quite simple but effective to look at. The lanterns are very girly and have a warm feel to the ident which I like. The slow motion of the text being blown apart is really good & interesting as an audience to watch however the fact it's being blown up & quite full of action goes against the convention of being feminine as such although it does work well. The glass shattering and revealing another laver is possibly my favourite & may have to ask Andy if this would be possible to do on 3dsmax.
This was a link when looking at living tv idents, never heard of diva tv but I enjoy some of the idents such as the first one which is very simple and attracts the audience due to the fact it has the main colour of pink standing out. I love love love the wine glass one & would want to do this on my ident! The liquid in the glass swaying around is quite calming and makes you want a glass of wine to sit down with for the programme. The spinning paint brushes are good but I don't like DIY in anyway what so ever so couldn't apply it to me :)
Diva idents are different to the living ones in which the text is quite small & focus more on the design / colours. Living Tv bases the ident around the text which takes up the tv screen. I think I prefer this in which you can work around the text of the ident.
On the living tv idents I do really like the one where the woman is in fancy dress with crazy make up on a swing for one of the letters. I can't use people in mine but I like the text used which is white but when you see the side in 3d it's crystals / diamonds & I love this effect!
I think i'm just going to keep the text simple of my name or intials - HTF with a heart. I want to use glitter / diamond / crystal text if possible with a pink shading background. I like the idea of using balloons to lift the text or maybe shattering text/screen. I don't really have an idea about sound yet as we haven't been told about it and what we are and not aloud to use for example if its not aloud to be copyright.
The genre for my ident is aimed at females & I think it will hopefully attract the audience as as feminine person I know what will work. ( I hope haha )
Semiotics is in which the signs relate to what the audience sees. For example seeing my pink ident will semantically mean to the audience that they are watching that tv station. ( I think?! )

Animation Assignment
Looked on the NOW & got told in the first seminar of animation about our assignment which will be due in on 16th Nov.
Imagine that your twitter, blog and Facebook account are all rolled
into one and are actually a cable TV station, your task is to create a
station Ident animation for your cable channel that holds audience
interest in the interval between shows slot.
Use 3ds Max and premier pro to design build and animate a 30
second Ident for “Your Station”
Here are some examples of an ident:
