I Heart 8 mm

My WIP video for Shut up Sean's song Got a Hold will contain, what I hope will be, nifty geometric and camera animation, as well as the usage of graphic Flash cut-outs. Aw, isn't the unification of vector-based programs adorable? Anyway, the aesthetics of the film will take on characteristics of the previous 2 posts, and projections of simulated Super 8 footage will be incorporated using After Effects. Here are a few clips that I've taken the liberty of Super8ifying. I shot some pixilation in downtown Manhattan, fiddled with it in After Effects, and then exported it at 15 fps. In the end, I do not want it to possess such a sepia tone; rather I would like it to contain more muted reds and yellows. In other words, less 1920s, more late 1960s/1970s. Rock on.

Inspiracion

Another assortment of aesthetic influences for my project. Further explanation to arrive shortly. 'Til then, behave yourselves!

Sense of Direction

These are some stylistic tests. I'm going for this rubber stamp/photocopy look, which will reflect a notion of Street Art->Pop Art->Comic Art. The end result will have a little more color, and will be augmented using Maya and After Effects. All of these images are a product of Photoshop.
