1) How does my finished TV title sequence compare with my original intentions?
General mood is quite similar. At the first time I want to put more crime mood real video but I felt something difficult and I thought just use graphic source in video is better for dramatic feel so I remove video part and made all sources in the graphic. and I want to show more information about TV show, but I can’t so I feel sad.
2) Is my TV title sequence fit for purpose?
My TV title sequence some things are fit for purpose but some things are not fit. I think some audience want to see Sherlock’s nice and gentle face or want to see Martin Freeman but my motion graphic has only graphics and Moriarty’s feeling is strong. but I think, audience and feel different Sherlock’s mood.
3) What techniques am i particularly proud of and why?
First, I’m pleased light effect. It’s my room’s light and for this effect, I control that. It quite difficult work because I have to control light and moving camera and before everything, my eyes are too sick because of twinkle light but result is good I think.
Second, I like mask effect. I want to graphic come up like drawing so I use mask effect. It’s one of favorite tools in after effects because It can show a lot of things.
4) In which ways was my tv title sequence influenced by the work of other designers?
I am influenced by Sherlock season 3’s ending and Moriarty. In the ending of season 3, Moriarty said “Did you miss me?” in the screen. It report crime’s king’s come back. and when the class, teacher showed us Se7en’s opening title sequence and I thought that is really good. so I want to show that mood in opening title.
5) How do i think my finished work for this brief compares with similar work i have done in the past?
I made video in after effects before but I think i can’t compares these works. Because even if similar work, each project’s have different purpose and techniques but in the objective view, resources is less than other works. Other projects have more various resources for example using 3D Maya and Photoshop and illustlation ect. In this work, I have to express many things using limited sources. so It’s sad thing but this video is new challenge for me because I use new tech in this work so I had to learn about that and It was vary interesting time for me.
6) In what ways could i improve my tv title sequence in future.
I want to make background source more high quality. It’s quite big source but I think more high quality image is better. and stretch the time so I want to put in more information about Sherlock. and I want to make more resources. for example, I want make skull resource in 3D Maya. This will be great because if I make sources in 3D, I can move camera more variously – I can pass between each skull so It’s more dramatic and fun. and this time, I found and used free copyright music but If I have chance, I want to make music by myself. I don’t have talent of this but it’s quite interesting time.
Finally I want to say about this. This project was really interesting and great work for me because I can try many things. I learned about new tech for this and think about differently and most of all I can prepare each steps. I felt prepare video steps are vary important for result. Thank you for I can realize these things. You were vary good teacher! 🙂
