From last update, I've only managed to accomplish a hand-full of tasks before dozing off. With that in mind, amma tackle the AVP a little differently now. Amma tackle it per module required rather than laying them out, hoping I'll figure a good animation per image/clip.
Here are the modules I've come up with:
- Animated Background Loop
- Talking Head Frames
- I call them talking heads because that's what they are... A video of a person, usually staring straight to the camera, talking their hearts out.
- Figure when to cut their talk to transition to a new frame.
- Talking Head introductory banner
- Insert name of the talker
- Insert relationship of the talker to the debutant
- Baby Picture Insert Timing
- and based from the Baby Pic insert timing, layout in photo shop then figure animation.
Amma start with Talking Head Frames. Talking Heads are boring to watch. Period. Unless the talking head is trying to be funny. With that in mind, long talking head will have different frame cut out from them so we see interesting shapes!
The Whole Screen Talking Head
 |
| aka, "In your face! I'm talking!" |
Self-explanatory title. One thing to note tho, I'll be starting all talking heads like so. No fancy animation of sort, just fade it in after they've started to talk after a few seconds or so.... Then add the talking head introductory banner.
The Framed Whole Screen
 |
| aka the not so in your face talking |
Unlike the first whole screen, this one gets fancy intro and outro animation, but stays still while the person talks. It'll feature part of the looping background.
The Cropped Talking Head
This one features the talking head video cropped into a small square. This will animate creatively, even while the speaker is still talking. I'll just have to time how long it'll feature the talking head then animate it later on. I need all the time to layout the talking heads.
That's it for now. I have around 8 hours to spend tomorrow for this project... So maybe I'll use that time to sort pictures. Ciao!
