A Different Kind of Animation

I thought I'd throw this into the blog, since it counts as 'animtion'. I fancied having a go at redesigning the ident I made for Jack Brindelli's Youtube channel.

Original:

I made this one about over a year ago using Flash. Although I was happy with it at the time, I felt I could do a better version now.

New (WIP): 

 

Using After Effects instead of Flash means I can go crazy with the blur. Gotta love some of that blur. In seriousness though, it does make fade transitions more convincing.

I'm going to go back over this later on and probably change the timing so it syncs up with the audio better.
