Take On Me Special

Looking at this was a big help on how they created the piece. And from doing it myself I only feel a small piece of the long progress of making the animation.

BBC News report on the music video from it coming out 25 years ago.

Simon's Cat

I've always liked Simon Tofield's animation style for this series and the smoothness to it with very simple lines. I know that it was a good link to what i was doing being the piece which we was going to do.

Thought Of You Shortfilm

I looked at this video because it was very similar to how we was making our piece of watching someone do it and having to draw it so I found this piece inspirational to try and get it as fluid movement as possible when creating the take on me advert.

I also looked at the making of to get a better insight to it.

More style research

It was easy to find images on Young groups so research for that was easy so from that it was a case of producing a unique style that people would remember. We wanted to keep things simple to save us the hassle of making us have a lot of work to do.

Research

These are various Characters and Styles which I looked at for each project. For Werther's I had to look at various child cartoon characters to design the kids and for lion bar I looked at um bongo for the animal designs. For take on me it was a case of looking at the Take On Me music video to get that style down.

Lion Bar Storyboard

This is the storyboard for the lion bar ad which was drawn out by the illustrator in our group matt. It had a lot of detail in this idea, but was very creative would of been fun to make but i'm sure it would of taken awhile to all of it being probably one of the longer adverts so may have needed to have been cut. In the pitch we was told that it was too random and didn't have a strong enough ending.

I would of uploaded the animatic but it seems to be having trouble uploading such a big file.

Werthers Animatic

So this was the wethers animatic which i produced and got pitched for one of our three ideas. The concept worked in my eyes but a few points were pointed out that it was a bit hard to make a cool sweet being it isn't a cool sweet. I did like this idea though because out of the three it had cartoon fun style to it.
