D&AD Shutterstock // Afterthoughts

Its been a few weeks since we entered the animations into the D&AD New Blood awards, and we wanted to meet to discuss how we could fine tune them to post online and add to our portfolios, as I feel that we were very rushed towards the end before the deadline.

Overcoming the monster

• in the ending of this animation, the leaves could get gradually bigger and clearer around the flowers, as they are very small.

• the face could turn white, as the brain at the start of the video was white and turned black. This links the start to the end.
• we could always redraw the leaves, as we believe they could look better.

Rebirth

• the jacket is blank sometimes, and not filled in with a pattern, so that needs to be fixed.
• could put white boxes behind the jacket so that some of the designs are clearer.
• the last background colour is wrong - its supposed to match up with the pale green colour used in overcoming the monster.
• outlines of the clouds could be drawn in colours, rather than filled in colour like they are now.

Comedy

• make zoom out parts more contrasting
• make blue colour at start too heavy - make lighter
