Creating The Final Logo

For the final piece, I used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I created the design in Photoshop as I felt more comfortable using that than a new app that I have spent 30 minutes using. To create the design I used the same reference image, the shapes and pen tool. The design is nearly identical to the one I created in procreate other than sharper lines that stay the same thickness and a minor difference in the text with positioning and sizing. I then imported the PSD file into Adobe Illustrator to save as a vector file. This is a type of format which means that no matter the size of the image the quality will stay amazing with the sharp lines. One problem I had with this was the sizing of the circles. I used stroke at 30 for all the shapes to keep it all even but it was a lot thicker on the circles in Illustrator than Photoshop so I had to change them to 5 and 6. I felt that it would give a bit more detail if the inner circles were slightly thinner.

The Final Logo

Here is the final version of the logo. 

For whatever reason, the vector uses the wrong font and alignment when using a windows device. For the final design please use a mac.

Animated Logo

My final animation doesn't reflect my original idea for my animation. My original idea was to have the camera increase in scale then a trapezium shape would appear to the right to symbolise the camera turning on. I wasn't able to get this idea to work to a point that I loved so I went in another direction. I did use lots of different effects to create the design basing the animations off a few from YouTube. I added an element which was supposed to mimic 3D glasses with the 3 colours, I think this worked well to add a bit more to the animation.

Recorded Audio

I recorded this in the recording room before Christmas with Tom. I then cut it down to just the audio I wanted in Premiere Pro.

Recorded Screen Capture

I used QuickTime player for mac at home and was able to crop the recording before saving which was quite handy.

Walkthrough Video

To make my walkthrough video I used my audio from premiere pro, the screen recording and some music. I encountered a problem when using the screen recording where it looks corrupted when using premiere pro. My only solution without spending along time was to use iMovie. I was able to export the audio (cut version) as a video and split it and only use the audio in iMovie which meant I didn't have to cut the audio again. I then added the screen recording, cutting it and slowing down a couple of parts to fit better to the audio. Due to iMovie being quite basic I had to export that file to then edit a new copy to add music as my recorded audio took up space. 

I used Warm Nights by Lakey INSPIRED which is a copyright-free song that I found on Soundcloud. I struggled to find music that I thought fitted to the branding and theme of the video. I had looked at other music composers like Ehrling (I used his music in my "how to" video), DJ quads (I quite liked his music but I couldn't find a download for it) and David Cutter Music (known for drone style music for content creators like Simon Wilson and Casey Neistat, I looked the music but didn't fit what I wanted).
