exploratory

To solve my problem of deciding which effects I would like to use. I will make a quick animation with a little character, a bouncing pea with a cap. It should be finished by Tuesday. I found a good example of a simple animation in after effects. It's not long, variety of tools and it has sequences. It will be a sketch for my intro animation.

This is it

My goal for this semester is to make an high quality DVD to advertise my abilities with after effects as well as my abilities in painting.
In this DVD there will be a motion graphic movie in the background of the menu instead of a common Photoshop still. There will be animated sequences in between the transitions of the menu and sub-menus. There will be a slide show of my paintings. I will have three painting movies: one will be of my mural piece, the second will be of my Delta show piece, and third will be of my BFA piece. I will also have a movie documenting my BFA as well. The documentation film will show the steps creating the piece, the materials and the process of the BFA. There will be commentary and a small interview of myself talking about my work in the documentation film.
I want the film to have a build up like a legitimate theater production and also have a satirical joking feel. Therefore I will create a false studio logo intro and a false rating in the beginning, and a rolling credits at the end. During my own commentary and a section of the film where I talk to other painters in the painting department about their work I will have animated characters talk over during the movie and make rude remarks. I got the idea from mystery science theater 3000.
I not sure which effects I will use, but I will use the first two weeks to learn the ones I never learned in the first class: the 3D elements.

I'm interested in advertisement in art. I have been looking at artist like INSA, David Choe, Aurel Schmidt and believe or not thomas kinkade. all these artist advertise themselves well in the public eye with a certain persona in the art world.
