Cannibals - Final Advert

Cannibals - Re Edit With Sound

I have finally recorded the sound track/voice over for my cannibals advert. The pace and timing of the animation has had to be rectified to match the voice over track, making the speech sound much more fluid and natural.

Cannibals - Voice Over Recordings

My Voice







Will's Voice


After listening to these takes i have decided that Jack 7 is the most effective, although the other recordings try to match to the animation i have decided that its much more important for the narrator to sound fluid, this is why i am going to re-edit the pace of my animation, to match the sound.

Recording Session

Last night I went to Will Tapply's house to use Logic, and his microphone set up. I recorded the sound for my Panic and Cannibals Briefs, This is my first time using logic and i think it went really well. An amazing feature is the ability to watch your animation in the same time as your recording. It has lead me to think i may need to invest in a decent Microphone.

Cannibal: Initial Movement

This demonstrates the movement over the page, the pace and panel animation is still to be added.

Cannibal Camera Pan Plan

A sequence of images showing the planned behavior of the camera movement above my overall composition. This plan also shows the image borders which will work as windows for each compositional image to animate behind.

Page Layout Plan

In order for the sequence to work the images must be the right size to fit into the camera composition of 16:9 pal widescreen but also fit naturally on a page layout asif they were printed on a pamphlet. This is my 1st attempt at a composition which fits into both specifications, for my camera to move around, im sure by the time im done this will probably have changed.

Gravestone

Vectorized images, even thought the end aesthetic will be as if it is hand drawn i felt that vectorized images would give the illustrations more body and stability in after effects, it also eliminates the possibility of pixelation if i want to enlarge or zoom into the images.

Initial Illustrations, to be coloured and vectorized in order to animate them in after effects, the style of the animation i hope to be a cross between the grange hill intro scene and a NHS instructional pamphlet.

Cannibals Paper Work

Initial Ideas

Storyboard Idea 1 - Violence

A mask on the floor, focus changes to reveal a man beaten, narrator asks "Are Cannibals monsters?" The scene rewinds to show the man beaten, cornered, chased by a mob, walking out of the cannibal donor center. The sequence returns to normal speed and direction. Narrator "Whos really the monster?" end shot shows the mob.

Storyboard Idea 2 - Un-Mask

Dark Room, Hannibal character emerges from the dark, the lighting increases, and mask fades away to reveal an old man. "Are they really a threat?"


Animation plan - This helped me navigate around the page, decide on the path, pace and arrangement of imagery.

Cannibals [MPA Roses Student Creativity Awards 2010]

Selected Brief:
9. Cannibals
We are a charity committed to integrating Cannibals into society.
To do this, we need to educate the public and banish the negative stigma attached to them.
They are not murderers, they are just humans like you and me.











I want to do this brief to demonstrate my Animation skills, i intend to do this as an animated narrative based tv advert. This falls into my professional practice themes of using narrative with a focus on film to resolve ethically driven briefs.
