Hey Page, I really like the idea you have for your PSA project, certainly something that non- art people need to know haha. I like how in this project like your other ones you are using your drawing skills and taking a more Fine Art approach. I think what might help your PSA is if you did not split the images you are drawing with the stroke tool and the text that will show up. I think if you include the type with the drawings you can make a more cohesive clip. An example being when they guy asks the artist to draw him...the artist pretends to draw him..and when he shows the guy the picture it is the text saying what you want to say instead of a portrait on his paper...Hope that makes sense and helps!
I like the crumpling paper part but I'm not really a fan of the text appearance. It might look better if it appeared with a stroke or someone actually wrote it out. I'd like to see the text look like its actually on the paper and not floating on top.
I found this video over the weekend and thought you might enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr7B2v1z45Q
I like the way you break up the scenes with the use of the paper crumpling up. It really fits with the artist theme, as artists often throw away their work like this.
One thing that might help you make the text sit a little more realistically on the paper is adding an overlay transparency to your text layer. Other than that looks pretty strong.
Ditto the comments on the text on the crumple paper. Also, not sure it makes sense? Why crumple the paper and then write on it. would the writing not be all skewed and dislocated depending on the paper folds? Maybe you could do that with blending modes and displacement maps along with motion tracking. Stop motion is traditional camera technique, so there needs to be a way to elevate it with effects somehow. Is this what you are trying to do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=366aCR0_1Ww)
having sketches animate and tell the story sound great, but is a black hole of consuming your time...consider yourself forewarned about cell animation with AE, it takes FOREVER so get started now on drawing the all the cells--there are no shortcuts. Personally, I would think layering, instead of animation, when i think of Motion Graphics. Is there a way to do that that is less time consuming?

I like the idea of framing the content with the crumpled paper and the animation looks great but I do agree the text doesn't quite seem to fit yet.
ReplyDeleteFeel like a broken record but I like the crumpling paper as well
