went back to some early work again and gave it a clean up and added some text using a style I had seen in the film "TETRO" I created depth in the text by using multiple layers using blurs and and movement to create a dynamic stlye. also tried staying true to the angles created by my original work

crisscrosschaos
using more layers and easy ease and drop shadow to give it a bit more depth. Not quite sure where am going with this but I do like it even tho it is simple looking to be honest I think it looks like a channel ident
color crossing
another test using this style gonna keep building on it see what happens cos I like the movement in itso may layer some more and keep the movemenet going very subtely
callauge
Using the images i previously posted using them as a template for color and layout as I wanted to use the more subtle colors as after some advise I realised I was using to many primary colors that most probably would not be used and doesnt really portray what DULUX are trying to do. I came up with this animation after wathcing the title sequence by Saul Bass for the film "The Man with the Golden Arm" and "The Seven Year Itch" I wanted a kind of nice looking animation but with the simplistic style of Saul Bass with a very graphic layouthopefully creating a more mature look to target a specific audience

Making Things Beautiful
Used a particle system to try and get the effect but going to have to tinker around and I dont think using particles is the best way as I havent got as much control over the final look. I am going to try an use stokes as I have created vector images that I will incorparate

journey of color
we see different color because the wavelengths are differing so I wanted to use this somehow and I had aleady had a previous idea of using line as showing a journey, like on a subway map different colors represent different destinations and I wanted to interpret this for DULUX as a journey of thought. With this animation I simply chased the 3-D line which is creating a wave in its path finally getting to its destination "color"

Prefuse 73 - End of the biters
Music video I have made using After Effects using particles to create the 3-D tentacle thing supposed to look organic something from under the sea. Buy creating audion keys from the music I was able to make its tentacles react to the bass of the song. The whole look and style is supposed to resemble a HUD giving it a kind of futuristic loo. Got inspiration from my own Tomorrows World work Ironman film and games like Metroid Prime where the HUD is a vey important factor. Coming up with this video was kind of an accident was just putting things together and techniques and stuff I enjoy the style of

Tomorrows World
I looked back at my title sequence and realised that I could hopefully improve and build onit so I decided to go back and improve my Tomorrows World title sequence as there was a lot of stuff I really wanted to improve on and now being a little more comfortable with After Effects decided to go back and create something like I intially wanted. I have learned better control of the camera creating a more dynamic look and wanted the HUD effect to be completely improved and to create a lot better atmosphere to be honest I changed most things

A simple idea that I came up with but not so simple to do. I followed a few tutorials on After Effects to help me create the look and found that the presets wave world and caustics would let me generate what I was trying to create. Although it looks fairly linear I think with more time and taking it steps further I could create something more dynamic if I wanted to.

generating colors
i got this idea from just looking at the colors used on a subway map and how different each destination has its own corresponding color. I just thought about creating 3-D lines of color on a journey and although I dont think it looks like they are on a journey like I had hoped I think it still has some style and actually reminds me of some adverts for Toonami previously looked at. think al look through them again. I used After Effects to create this short clip using plug-ins to help me refine a style.
