TIGERMAN mOVIE TITLE SEQUENCE ANIMATION AND MOTION GRAPHICS
PROJECT OVERVIEW This film title sequence animation is the result of two classes at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. The storyboards and concept were created for the novel written by Nick Harkaway called Tigerman, in the class GD3120 Visual Sequencing I. Using these storyboards and being influenced by the animation style of the animated film Justice League: The New Frontier (2008), I created the animation using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects for a course project in Motion Design GD3240. Watch the video on youtube METHODOLOGY As this project began in Visual Sequencing I where we studied storyboarding, I chose the book by Nick Harkaway because it has not yet been made into a movie, but with the current interest in superhero movies, this anti-hero story would work very well. Not realizing I would get a chance to actual attempt to animate my storyboards, I really put a lot of thought into them, mapping out different aspects of the story and the theme through visual storytelling and setting up the plot without giving away the farm. I wanted to create a lot of tension through the use of slow panning visuals, really taking advantage of the Ken Burns effect, and using a dramatic piece of music. The moment I heard Goldfrapp's 'Tigerman,' I knew it had to be the soundtrack. I carefully mapped out a plan to have different pieces move and land with specific beats and transitions in the music. This made life so much easier when I actually got the chance to animate the sequence in Motion Graphics class. I used Berlin Sans FB, a very simple font for the credits in the sequence to not detract from the movement of the animation. For the title I used Demon Sker, and very chaotic looking decorative font. I felt this added to the tension of the scene it was presented in. For the color palette, I used very solid colors to create a very vibrant but simple animation style. typography
