Film Company - Animation

I downloaded a free trial program which allowed you to make 3D title animations; it is called Aurora 3D Animation. Here is a screenschot of me making one of the company animations using the software:



I found the software user friendly. I especially liked the layout of the software and the timeline along the bottom allowed me to edit each second of the animation precisely. I was able to customise the animation with many different tools such as the text tool and the light tool. I was able to move each word or object three dimensionally and I was able to add pictures to any point along the timeline.

I then exported the files, imported it into iMovie to add music/sound effects over the animations. I also edited the speed of the clips, for example I increased the speed of the animation at the beginning of one, and decreased the speed in the second animation. These are example screenshots of this:




My inspiration for this animation is from "Dimension films":



As well as making these Animations, I decided to make a a stop motion flip book animation as I have recently become intrigued by them as they are  a completely new type of film to me, I achieved a more authentic feel which I believe is a good thing; this is where this animation contrasts the ones above. This has originality while the ones above are far more modern. I continuously took photographs of me writing out "Blood Rush Studios". I then imported them into iMovie (roughly 500 photosand added foley sounds such as the sound of the pen writing on the paper and the sound of the paper being scrunched up into a ball:


However, I am not going to use this company 'Animation' as I feel it may be inappropriate for our thriller. However, I feel it would be fitting if our thriller was something like the film "Psycho"as it has a very old, authentic feel to it.
