Lost in the Plot

To go along with a new edit of my reel, I needed to create a new DVD to present it. I worked quickly to get this done, since I know how easy it is to get bogged down endlessly redesigning a personal project. I based the interface on a random motion graphics experiment I created a few weeks ago- a collage of photographs of a tree, layered and blended and then subtly animated using Apple’s Motion.

I made a 30 second loop from it in Final Cut, then built the menu interfaces in Motion. I also made brief animated intros for the menus, which are nice, though DVDs just don’t seem to be capable of switching between menus or tracks quite quick enough to make the effect seamless.

Anyway, now I can finish working on the presentation of my reel, and get back to actually creating new stuff!
