Over the weekend we made all of the assets we need for the video, and I put them all into 5 different photoshop files, so we both have the same images. now I am going to make the main background parts of the motion graphic and Fredy will make pre-compositions of the smaller aspects - eg birds flapping/clouds moving and subtler bits of animation.

(the gannet pictures are ones we found and stitched together different parts before I painted over them to make them slightly less photographic looking)

some photos i took of rubbish to use in the video. we could also use the recycle symbol from the bag as our recycle symbol asset?

every thing we need to make for the video:

• ocean for map, ocean for underwater
• small birds flying in
• nz/aus map part
• dead bird falling down
• 'plastic pollution' words floating
• diving bird - with changing wings and beak part?
• sand
• footprints
• ocean going over sand

• plastic around the first falling bird
• bits of rubbish/plastic for the ocean
• the main piece of plastic that the bird picks up 
• bird standing feeding baby
• baby bird, with plastic bits inside
• dead birds falling, with plastic on them
• dead bird on sand, with plastic on it
• tiny pieces of plastic for the map  part
• recycle symbols
• bird on water (reuse standing one?), with plastic on it

text (done in AE)

• 10% of all seabirds breed in nz
• but nz seabirds are also the most affected by 
• one milion seabirds are killed by plastic each year
• so how can you help?
• 80% of all marine pollution comes from land
• birds are killed by eating plastic instead of fish
• or one plastic bag tangled in their wings
• over one million plastics were collected from nz beaches between 2011-2013
• if everyone in nz picks up one piece of litter today
• four times as much litter would be off our beaches,
• our oceans,
• ..and our seabirds.

website concepts

multiple videos:

single video:

This one (above) seems like the most effective concept - with the main info (video) in the sky and extra under the surface. If we had time, it would be cool to do a parallax effect with that (and some clouds?) but I've never done parallax before so maybe not.

-----------------------------------------------

a wireframe for that. unsure if we want a top nav that links down to the text/info stuff?  made the box that is wide with the ocean background (instead of having the sky + sea on the main background because then when you zoom it won't align with the text?) have the id #info just in case we do want to link to it. but then also - the video is important so do we want people to skip it? they can still scroll down the normal way if they want.

full video

still need to make the timing slower, since the final render always seems to be faster than what's in AE....

---------------------------------

a slower version, also with some updated frames
