I have looked at the Swarovski website to get a better look into their brand for the YCN brief.

The new spring 2012 collection...

I have been looking at different music to go with my title sequence. I want something upbeat, a little bit rocky and quirky. These are my favourites so far...

The one I find most fitting is I'm coming over by X, also it is only 1 minute 20 secs long so will be easy to cut down.

I'm starting off my brief by building a bank of images to work from and take influence from.

The title sequence for the film Into the Wild was created by a student called Jurjen Versteeg. It has been created solely in After Effects, so it's a great example of the possibilities of this piece of software.

'Love in a Cab' title sequence created by design and animation studio Mojo. I really like how the flat vectored images have been manipulated to look 3D. The use of drop shadows and textures are a really effective way to separate the individual layers.

Titles for TV mini series 'The Starter Wife' uses similar techniques to make two dimensional illustrations jump out to you.

Top 10

I have looked at the title sequence for Desperate Housewives and I really like the style. I want my title sequence and idents to have a similar feel; quirky and humorous. I really like how a collage effect has been created with existing photographs and how the images have been manipulated to create an animation.

In today's crit someone suggested that I should look at the Napoleon Dynamite title sequence as one of my ideas is quite similar. I wanted to have the writing of my title written a big greasy fry up at the end, very similar to this sequence.
