New logo animation and more!0

It’s really nice to finally have some free time! I ordered and got my copy of Adobe’s Production Premium package the other day. Bought it on student discount, which cut the price of the package with about 80%. So I’ve been working some stuff, mostly in After Effects and in Photoshop – been a while since I used either of the two programs since my move to the Mac platform.

I figured my logo’s intro animation is starting to show it’s age so I decided to try and redo it – it will be “officially” featured at the beginnning of my next short film, but I figured I could show it to you anyway. It’s a bit more 3d-like and should look a bit more clean in HD now, as it’s all based on vector graphics (Adobe Illustrator rocks!). Anyway, check it out right here:

Also tried some stuff and tutorials from my good friend Andrew Kramer over at Video Co-Pilot. This is basically just a small title animation, but thought it became pretty spiffy:

I also got hired by a company called “Emerest” to create a corporate logo for them – worked on that pretty much entire yesterday, and I became quite happy with the result.

The story for my Halloween film project is all done, and the script is close to being finished – I’m guessing I should have a final version of it late next week!
Stay tuned for more info on the Halloween film and maybe some more effects and design tests very soon!
