the soul of nature


This was the last flash that I made in this semester.
I have had a good time "upgrading" my Flash making skill.
Again, nature has become the source of my inspiration.
I, basically, used Photoshop to create a "simulacra" of the original image.
The new image would have just back and yellow colors.
The mood of the song has spreaded out the whole movement of all animated objects.
I tried to make my text could go together with the music, as well, I tried to catch the rhythms and smoothness of the song.
Blur effect was used with specific purposes.
Button and some text when appeared would have blur or moving up down effects.
The animated pictures were concentrate on representing the atmosphere.
Typography was created as the target of "pouring" its spirit into the space.
So everything element could support each other to define a unity.
I think it will be a good idea to create more interesting typography effects.

This is my a picture of wide and free nature with the smell of countryside.
What I can feel when I let myself drowning in nature beauty, I try to "redraw" that picture in this flash.
Typography goes as falling leaf and changes to letters. I love the move of masking and mood in this job.
The whole project insists the "growth of life".
The mood becomes happier at last.
Basically, green is the main color.
The buttons are used with Glow effects trying to get the viewers intention to click on them.
Though I think it is quite short. I love to make it better and a bit longer when I have free time.

flash for typhography



When I was looking for my font.
I meet mine. Salt Water, as its beautiful name, it has breath and life. I love the way it makes everything "wet and fresh".
I used a lot of animation effects.
Also, I try to make the whole work goes smoothly with the music.
Animated typography are chosen to GO WITH the emotion of the song.
Making describe for specific elements of each letters seems to be the most difficult.
I hope this one will be my another useful practice.
