Moving image research

Good use of a 3d perspective and images moving to a beat or time line. Not sure about the naff daft punk cover of teachers over it though.

Mike Giant & 123Klan



















123klan -




















Mike Giant- Really good reference for the hand drawn type i will be doing.

More visual research























































More early hand drawn hip hop flyers and hip hop paraphernalia, which could be used as reference in my work. Maybe could also use graffiti in the development of work as it is a essential part to hip hop.

All photo's taken at the Urbis in Manchester.

123klan

------> http://www.123klan.com/v2/ <----- This is the kind of thing i want to be going for.

Visual research

This video shows good uses of moving image and a visual theme. The animation was done by 123Klan, i will look further into there work to see if i can take influence.

Visual research

Really like the black and white and half tone. Could be something i put into my work.

Hydro 74

This guy keep busy.... i think the work is amazing, brilliant attention to detail. Although i really like this style i feel that this kind of clean, clinical look will not add up with my idea. I will be taking influence from this though in the form of how simple vector based shapes can be composed together.

MTV logos

Many MTV logo's from over the years, i will use this to my advantage and take inspiration and ideas to add to my own.

MTV- Ident

This is a idea for a MTV ident created in 1995( hahaha Amiga,amazing). I think the ident would probably work well today, seeing the trend to use a retro or retro style advert has been on the up, milky way and monster much for example(http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/oct/02/advertising.television). The animation reminded me of that hand made/drawn look i want to go for.

Top design direction













Exhibition board for the entrance of 'Home Grown' a uk hip hop exhibition at the Urbis in Manchester, UK.





































Various t-shirt design's found on the web, the type of type used has a feel of early hip hop but at the same time is modern and popular.



















This flyer, taken from a book called 'Art & Sound Of The Bristol Underground' is done by FLX and was drawn around 1985. It was for a Underground illegal party where the early sounds of hip hop were played.

I decided i would like my final animation to invloves this kind of direction taking influences from early hip hop and hand drawn visuals rather than the modern 'bling' and 'Gangstar' hip hop look, which is associated with most of today rap artist's.

Deadline

good way of seeing how a motion graphic is created and planned out.

Not digital....































































Not digital but i like the layout.

Another top 10 idea

I found this 100 top quotes from the TV series 'the wire'. Thought it could be broken down into to top 10 and played with typographically, maybe using type as images. The atheistic would have to match the theme of crime or thriller, similar to the white noise trailer i have posted on this blog and the se7en trailer we saw in collage.
