Animated Love Story

Last week, i had the opportunity to make my first animated love story for a couple's wedding. Xavier (pronounced as chav-ye) and Teresa, lives in Spain and decided to have their wedding here in the Philippines, Teresa's homeland. I created the characters and background in Illustrator and animated it in AfterEffects. The animation serves as a video support cause we don't have that much time to create a fully animated lovestory. Here's the full video of Xavier and Teresa's love story.

Here are some screen caps so you can see the details:

Mindanao Bloggers Summit 4

This year, the Zamboanga Bloggers are hosting this year's Mindanao Bloggers Summit. As part of the core group, i was the one responsible to do the multimedia stuff like the motion graphics, poster design, etc. The first poster design i did was very simple and minimalistic, which is not really my style. It didn't really relayed the message of this year's theme which is The Mindanao Project: Weaving Voices Online. So i made another design which is more vibrant, appealing and has Zamboanga/Mindanao elements in it. I used a sort of doodle style in it with colors and patterns. After doing the poster, i animated it using after effects for the titles. The music is inspired from of my new favorite artist, Takashi Murakami, who made an animation for a fashion brand, Louis Vuitton. The music is titled "Different Colors" by Fantastic Plastic Machine. I hope that the bloggers will like my works.

MBS4 is three days away and it'll be three busy days. On October 29, there will be a series of seminars about blogging to be held at the College AVR of Ateneo de Zamboanga University. Simultaneously, some chosen bloggers and I will be having a trip up north to visit a mining site. The company is our biggest sponsor in the event so much thanks to them :D It their time to be heard after all the negative things that we hear about the mining industry. The summit proper will happen on the next day at the Ballroom of Garden Orchid Hotel. With a registration fee of 500, you will get to listen to some of Philippines Top Bloggers and people in the IT industry like Bloggie Robillo, Aileen Apolo-de Jesus, Janette Toral, and more.

I hope that many people will come and will be able to enjoy the summit. Good luck to all organizers and may God bless all the guest especially those who live outside the city. Imma leave you with the motion graphics of MBS4. :D

The Fray Music Video Doodles - Heartless

The first time i saw this on TV, i instantly fell in love with this video. It shows how doodles are recognized as a trend in the art of creating music videos. This song is an acoustic cover of Kanye West's "Heartless." The story is about a kindergarten romance. The boy uses his pencil and paper to express his emotions. In our world of doodles, we can visualize what we feel deep inside. Our imagination can run freely through our fingertips without anyone telling us what we can or cannot do. I can really relate with this music video because i can see myself in the boy. So just watch it and appreciate the art of doodling and animation. :D
