Final Pass

So here we are, at the final stage. We have a completed show package that I feel carries a very consistent vibe throughout each of the elements. A lot has changed, mostly small changes, but a huge amount of them. We considered every bit of feedback that we got, and tried to accommodate all of the suggestions we received. It was a tight fit at the end, but we pulled through and got everything done that we needed to, JUST IN TIME! We played with the timing and colors, the music and sound, and resolved a good 4 or 5 seconds earlier than our first pass animation. 

I am so happy with our final package design and animations, and I feel that everything ended up working out really well. It was quite and experience working with my group members, and I learned a lot just in that aspect. 

These are the final package elements:

Transition 1:






Transition 2:





Lower Thirds:



Looping Background:







Title:




What's changed?
We blurred the background literally and with color, bringing the final logo resolve forward and making it more prominent. The sound and film were edited down to get the timing of the animation as close to perfect as possible. There was further work done to the graphics explosion, making it fill the screen even more, and setting the backpack and graphics higher in the hierarchy of the piece. The lower thirds had close to an entire re-haul and the changes are obvious. The first transition has a few more elements added and the second transition has been completely revamped while still retaining the same basic motion. Both Transition fill the entire screen for 2 frames, eliminating the need for any sort of matte with the transition. The looping background has a fresher and more appealing layout while the colors and basic appeal haven't changed much. 

We also provided the After Effects files along with a PDF Usage guide for the editor to use to understand the files.
