So here's the final videos for this submission. I've mixed feelings about them.
On the one hand, I really enjoyed the process of working with stop frame, and rotoscope for that matter. Though both of them look really amateur, I never set out to achieve anything more than that. It was all about the process and the technical ability. I now feel that I can use these techniques to achieve something far more advanced as I have a good knowledge of the foundations of both processes.
On the other hand, I didn't really push the boundaries as far as the overall visuals of the pieces. Pretty standard vector overalys and masks make up the rest of the videos - I slipped back into my comfort zone here I think. As I had used camera moves to make up the basis of the stop frame and rotoscope, I discounted the possibility of another camera in After Effects. I cannot believe I overlooked this opportunity, as working with cameras in the software was an aspect I really enjoyed in the digital module.
I really love how the animated logo turned out. It was the part I spent the most time working with, and I think I achieved a really nice effect. Part of the enjoyment I get from motion graphics is people asking me "How did you do that?" - I got asked that several times with regard to the logo - which is usually a good indicator that I've done something a bit different and interesting.
Anyway, here's the videos. More effort went in than meets the eye, I promise.
