Well it has been a mad week since our visitors left, and work has been totally mental so I have been having really late and less than a lot of time to spend on this project which really needs LOADS of time to work on.
Feeling the pressure right now and just very tired mentally.
But I am pushing on, so here is a very first cut of all the footage spliced together and a very basic title slide that I threw together using presets in AE. Thats it. No narrative, no colour correction, no spiffy splicing just rough edits with the razor tool and thrown together on a timeline. I have done some rearranging a few times following my concept brief layout which has also been such a great learning this trimester. After struggling with it last year and then having to use it again I can really see the value now and think that future projects will lean heavily on their use in the early days of developing concepts to develop digital video.
So this project has a long way to go, and I have not a lot of time but I am hoping by dedicating every minute of my spare time over the next two nights and then the entire weekend I might be able to shape it up into something quite fun to watch.
For those of you following me you will know I changed concepts right in the middle and so you might be thinking how does this fit the brief? When I spoke with Cathie she did mention I could put forward my own ideas and after struggling with my ARG concept for a few weeks I suddenly had a flash of inspiration that was just such a late bloomer when if I had of thought of it earlier I could have been so much further along that I am now.
Oh well... so the main takeout from this little sneak preview is not to judge too much about what isnt there (especially the narrative as that is the key to telling the story behind the imagery) I would like to get your thoughts on what you can see so far.
It might look better quality wise on my YouTube page:

And I have been playing with the title sequence that I will use on the front and back of the intro but again it isnt much more developed yet than what is in the video but I have been playing with composits and layers of some graphics to give it more visual appeal.

wow Dan - you could probably submit enough work for two students. This is already looking cool and I think you have achieved the visual appeal for your title the layers behind your text make it work.
