So as this weather project has drawn to a close i thought this was a good time to step back and take a look at my work. So from the beginning i have explored weather through forms of action...as in storm it was by cutting letters out and using a blow drier to show movement and speed. Or cutting just part of the letters out and propping them up to give dimension or shadow as in day. With snow i had just paper pieces then sprinkled the snow words on top while photographing. Then with shadow i physically cut the letters of the word shadow out and shined a light through it creating a physical shadow.
When it came to applying these backgrounds to its entities such as the billboards and busses i wanted a very simple design that would flow with all of the four words well and feel cohesive and with the NBC logo having so much color i explored using those colors with bars that would aid with legibility of the text.
I really need to work on how things fit into the spaces such as the space on the NBC logo and making them not feel crammed or confined. Also the elements where beginning to feel very placed and not integrated so by having some overlap and drastic shifts for your eyes to follow it make the billboards feel more refined and true to what they are representing.
As for the animation i worked with alot of fading and shifting but stay true to my original forms. However some of my compositions began to feel alittle sparse. I need to find a more effective way to integrate my bars into the animation and shrink the weather in action at the end. All in all i have a few corrections to make before reviews but i am happy with my system and feel like they fit in a family.
