The first project I have to construct in After Effects is an exciting one! Some may call it "insignificant", but this is the assignment I have been waiting for! The task is to create a trailer or "opening sequence" for our favourite movie or novel. And you see, anyone who knows me, knows that I have always wanted to dabble into the movie trailer making business, and this assignment allows me to have a nice taste of what it is like! The first idea that popped into my head was the film "Down with Love". A romantic comedy taking place in 1960s Manhattan, it stars heartthrob Ewan McGregor and screen comedy favourite Renee Zellweger as rivals! The film is quirky, fun, vibrant and very in tune with shapes and colours! That is why I feel it will be a perfect movie to create off of! The trailer is a total of 5 seconds in length, and my idea is to incorporate many bright colours and shapes like hearts, arrows, flowers, and spirals into the clip. I want to go for the "futuristic" feel that was very popular in the 1960s. A feel of 1960s vogue mixed with the Jetsons...so to speak. I want a lot of fast paced action in terms of the movement of the text and shapes to play off of the "Manhattan" vibe. Stay tuned for the final product, folks! I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
