Work on VFX for Viola Films webisodes 'Mechanical Me''

A fair while ago, must've been good three weeks ago, I was taken by Viola Films producers and asked to help out with some visual effects for their three web episodes "Mechanical Me" . Essentially my task was to develop aftereffects layouts, which later could be applied to many various shots.

This video quickly shows some effects I have developed and applied to shots :

Given the time restriction (1 week for one 10 min. episode) and general scale of the project, the effects, also other aspects such as props, costumes etc. had quality restrains to them. However, I was glad to explore some new fields to me, such as working with green screen. I have delivered something both producers, Sam Supple and Debra McGee, were happy with. Some other work included designing logos , etc.:

 

 

Self Branding Development

 To develop professional presence we were asked to work on our personal branding , including logos, business cards and indents.

 I have decided to push the brand identity I have created already, 'JJ' logo works as a symbol and as a signature perfectly.

However the presentation needed some revisiting. I have decided to really sell the textured quality of my logo and created background, resembling the original logos and also a felt that dusty and smoky addition would further emphasize it. It all seems to be working in a match with the tonality of soundtrack.

This one is what I had before:

I am happy with how professional and modest the business card looks:

I see it as quite important, for when going out there, it seems to be proving you've went the extra mile.

Developemnt of Visual Identity

This is what thoughts I had about my visual identity. ( the presentation is way under acceptable quality, sorry for that :/ ...deadlines... :/)

But what I actually thought was to Choose an abstract version of my initial, the black version with no eyeballs imposed :D and simply ajust the colour each time I need to put this "signature".

There was an idea, ( which might become true) to scan my own finger print and then shape J simbol using all-mighty photoshop.
But this idea.. appeared somewhat ... generic .
So far I feel comortable with the one of abstract initial..
