SPECTRUM
Spectrum is a client that is a financial advisor that works exclusively with police and first responders. One of their office is located in a police station. This was one of the first time I really got to use skills learned with mattes and trim paths. My goal and inspiration on this was, how do I make an episode of Blue Bloods in ten seconds.
PRESERVATION
This advisor I used a stock photo of the city they were based in and gave it a parallax effect. Learning how to import Illustrator files as comps to retain their vector origins I was able to do the opacity scaling drop-ins for all the individual pieces of the logo icon. I have used this process in other projects and really enjoy it. It makes the icon feel like a puzzle being put together. I feel a huge inspiration for this is the old school New Line Cinema intros. Watching all the pieces of the film reel fall into place to form the logo is awesome.
OLSON & WILSON
This bumper is where giving it everything worked. Sound design was crucial on this with all the impacting motions. Since the clients colors are gold and silver metal sounds were chosen but the drill rev for the spin made it work and get away with just using another swoosh or wind sound. I was inspired by a coworker's school project. They used the sound of a revolver's chambers spinning for an animated hexagon to spin. Parallax with all the light sheens made a relatable believable yet unknown environment.
