Branding By Gio Roman

Finding a way to create an animation with my logo wasn't a tedious process, I had alternative ideas after my initial ideas such as using a canon ball to penetrate through the letters, white paint brush over the letters, or having asphalt fill in a cut out of my logo. However I found it to be much more sleek and simple to use a gun that shoots a bullet which creates the white space. Reverse engineering my logo wasn't such a arduous task. I wanted to use the James Bond Logo (specifically just the Gun ) and just make it a silencer instead of just a pistol. I used this gun specifically because of my fond for the 007 franchise. The only flaw in my process was not originally thinking about an introduction and conclusion for my logo animation. It was until the idea came up to me to make it a zoom out of the gun for the introduction and end the logo animation with it zooming into the white space that bullet had created. It only took some alignment and proximity to get the scene just ri...

         When making this storyboard the only thing I had left out was the execution of the beginning and end. How the gun will introduced will be through a zoom out transition in which the scene is initially black because it zoomed in on the gun graphic. After it zooms out it will show the gun on the left and my logo on the logo (my logo will not have the positive space.. yet). Afterwards the gun shoots the bullet which penetrates through the letters creating the white gap through out the my logos name. The animation will end with a zoom into the positive/white space in my logo. This will be my way in captivating the audience into seeing the entire animation. It's straightforward and clever to make my animation this way with the bullet creating the space. Efficiency isn't my goal, presentation is my goal. The only thing I have to modify is the gun graphic since It's going to be stylized similar to the gun used in the James Bond movie posters. I...

      After Utilizing both Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate, Adobe Animates is best for simple animations and has a variety of animation tools that assist in your animation . Such as the motion guides which specifies the direction of where your graphic is animating in. Adobe Animate can  output java-Script code which is great for publishing animated games or interactive animations. You can create Html5 canvas , WebGL, and SVG animations using Adobe Animate. Meanwhile Adobe After Effects is only meant to output videos, film and Gifs. Adobe After Effects provides a wide range of Visual effects that can be used to create stellar visuals in your edited video. In other words After Effects is meant for video and film production while Adobe Animate is more web  oriented. Adobe Animate has a smaller final file size and allows for runtime control of animation. Both apps do utilize a timeline, seconds, and frames for runtime, the  composition fram...
