We are back, baby

I’ve spent a few days in -I’m not going to say despair, because that’s a bit dramatic, but we’re also not far off – about this project. When I spent hours downloading and figuring out Aero only for it to crash out multiple times on my iPad, I developed an ennui that’s taken a few days to shake off.

I used my other email address and got a second Artivive account, something I can’t believe nobody thought of sooner. And we’re back.

I remade the Sign Here animation, and made another.

I also had a brain wave, and know how I’ll be presenting the outcome. I’ve had my works on office paraphernalia since the beginning, and I’m going to create a display book featuring some of my Demon’s paperwork. I’ll be creating a little character that you can piece together by flipping through the book, evidencing the universe around him in funny ways. I’ve been making occasional notes.

An initial version involved me screen recording and passing the fire behind the cat, but I then bought it up in Premiere Pro and used key frames to create far smoother motion.

I think this is successful, and good fun! I’ll be contextualising it in the binder of work, as a suggestion for a poster that will be going up in the offices. I like that the eyes are the only thing showing until the fire reveals the shapes and lettering.
