Development of Production Logo

After our pleasing result of our designed 'Night View' logo we thought it would add to the drama and professional look of the logo if we animated it slightly. We came up with the idea of when the logo appears on the screen the eyes gradually fade in and become brighter which also makes it more threatening. To do this we opened the designed logo onto Photoshop. I duplicated the layer numerous of times and then changed the brightness of the eyes in each layer by using the eraser tool but on a different opacity each time so the colour gradually built up. Then with all the layers made I then made this into an Animation. I hadn't done this before but we did have some practise in our music video (preliminary task) as a group as we put animation into that. This was time consuming as we had to put each layer into the time line and change the times of each layer. However when we had finished the animation we found that it was jolting slightly when it moved to each different layer. To stop the appearance of this we opened it onto Final Cut Express and used a fade transition between the layers so it ran smoothly. We are all very pleased with the animation and glad we put the effort in to making it move as we think it gives a great effect.
