Tapestry

This was a first round logo for my cousin's music group. As I was designing the logo I envisioned how it could be animated like this. Tapestry is a Christian music group from upstate New York comprised of five women. Their choice of name was that a tapestry requires each unique thread to be woven with the others into an intricately designed creation. The logo design was built directly from this concept as the threads weave with each other to create the shapes of the letterforms and the logo itself. Even though the logo isn't finalized I still wanted to create my vision for the animation.

The End

This is a pseudo teaser trailer for a made up movie called "Exterminatus" (and if you get the term you are a geek, and I love you for it). It is comprised of a meshing together of four different tutorials from Andrew Kramer's videocopilot.net (definitely check out the site if you are into learning motion graphics and After Effects). As I did the tutorials I just thought "I wonder what these would look like together?" So I went ahead and did it, with a couple additions of my own. Enjoy.

The song seemed appropriate being Smashing Pumpkins "The End Is The Beginning Is The End."
The typeface used is Electric Lady (B-29 Superfortress) by fellow SCAD MFA grad and aspiring typeface designer Derek Black.

Indiana Jones

I never understood why Indiana Jones had such an awesome logo but Lucas just seemed to drop the ball when it came to the on screen titles, all of which are Trajan. So I figured I would give Indiana a once over and created this, with a little help from Andrew Kramer's Ancient Titles tutorial at videocopilot.net.

Harry Potter!

Finished up my After Effects retraining! This is only a small (severely adjusted tutorial) piece I did. Don't worry more is yet to come ^____^
