SELECT

The scenario I was given was a TV channel called "Select" that needed some idents for it's parent channel as well as it's themed counterparts (Arts, Movies, History etc). I came up with a few initial ideas and then ended up focusing on a spherical idea that is present throughout all of my animations. With the themed idents though I added a twist to each one, making them all unique to the channel they are for and I feel they all work for the intended channels.


   As you can see here with the Movies ident I have added a countdown at the start of the animation, one that is often seen at the start of movies (especially older movies).
   With Arts I wanted to keep it simple, and what better way to simplify Arts than to show a paint splat which is what I have done at the end of the rotations in the animation.
   There are numerous ways I could have chosen to portray History, however, I ended up following something that has come along more so than a lot of other things, weapons. Thanks to this I was able to turn the sphere into a target and fire some arrows into it, a weapon that is stuck in History and not used anymore.
   When the word Fantasy is mentioned most people think of either Dragons, Fairies, Flying Horses and other such mythical creatures. I'm no different, and as such proceeded to turn the Fantasy sphere into a Dragons' eye.
