Animated logos and after effects

For the beginning we were able to create an animated logo, with help from one of our actresses, Sharifa Reynolds. The logo was designed on photoshop and we decided to use our "sparkle alternative" design instead as there were technical difficulties with our main one.



Two different sequences were made using after effects, it was pretty difficult but we prevailed at the end. Using after effects for the first time was pretty difficult and having to learn how to use the program in such a small space of time, had made the task even more difficult.



Version 1.




This was the version we had chosen for our film, we downloaded some presets for after effects to get the arrows in. The camera tool was used to rotate the logo a bit. We wanted something simple yet fun for our title animation so we used arrows, to really express the youthfulness and silliness of our production company and with Tosin spending ages in front of the laptop trying to get the perfect 'pop' sound.

Version 2

This version was made using another preset and the camera tool, to turn it into a 3D object, the problem we encountered with this version was the sudden jump it had at the end and it wasn't smooth enough.
