Youtube Annimation

Our final brief was to create a youtube interactive video. our idea was to do a lift that when you pressed the buttons to go to a floor it took you to different places instead of university (what you were expecting) As a group we thought through what we needed to film before putting our animation together
What we needed to film:
- Coming into university
- Going through university gates
- Getting to the lift
- Looking at the lift
- Pressing the Buttons in lift
- Doors in lift opening

We decided to source the videos that we were going to put in on the floors from the internet, by doing this we could go anywhere in the world with our lift. As a team we all picked a couple of videos to source and download to make our process and editing successful and quick.
The videos we wanted to source:
- New York
- Cows
- Boat
- Rain Forrest
- Mountain
- Volcano
- Desert
- Sky
- Taj Mahal
...Etc.

Our original idea was to have the lift take you somewhere different each time you pressed a floor, even though you had already been on that floor it took you somewhere different again. this is why we had such a long list of images and videos we wanted to source.
However when it came to editing and putting our film and sourced videos together we felt we were over complicating things for a mini brief so left it to 5 floors.

During editing we first found it difficult to work out how we could open the doors of the lift to reveal the video behind, we kept having it the wrong way round. We finally worked it out and i felt it had a really good effect on our final film.

When it came to adding the animations on youtube we found it fairly simple as we had created one long video so it meant we didn't have to keep finding the links to other youtube videos. The animating process consisted of drawing boxes to create the link to the time in the video it will cut to, depending if it was a sourced video or the options menu.



When it came to presenting i think people liked our idea as it was quite original but creative and interesting. People especially liked the floor with the field of cows and the boat deck.
