Music videosTV Title SequencesFilm title sequencesVideo Games TV adverts

Earthquake (Music video)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0fk6syQ7iY

• In this video you can see the use of Adobe After Effects and the software called Maya both are used throughout the whole of this video. There is a lot of green screening done and different layers that has been used to create the effect that makes it seem like they are in the future and have a lot of advanced technology around them. Maya was used to make the 3D objects that float around the video an example is when Labrinth turns into speakers all of that was done by using Maya.

Eureka (TV title sequence)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9wVXfJqzYA

• Opening title sequence for the show Eureka. As soon as it starts you can already see that they have used a lot of still images but have just added some effects and given it movement. Adobe After Effects has been used to make the layers you can see when you watch that it is not all one image or one shot they have a lot of images and a lot of different shots and the color that they use is very eye catching and the positioning of things is excellent.

Casino Royale (Film title sequence)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzX14t4dCQ0

• This is the opening title sequence for casino royal. At the start of it you get a preview of a short clip from the movie and then the rest is all made up using different types of software. There is a lot of different layers that have been used to create it and you can see this because of the objects that are in the foreground that stand out and look a lot closer than the things behind them. Maya would have been used to create some of the 3D items that are also in the scene.

Grand theft auto V (video game)

In video games motion graphics is mostly used to display such things as the score, health bars and stats I have a example from the game Grand Theft Auto.

Adobe ( TV advert)

• http://motiongraphics.nu/advertising/adobe-marketing-cloud/

• A lot of adverts use motion graphics I have an example of one in the link above. In the advert you will see a person buying online and the statistics of the website come out of the tablet and then create a 3D affect. They blend the motion graphics with real footage and show a lot of representation in the advert.
