KilkennyMusic Animated Logo 1

The first One Take Sessions of 2010 kicks off tonight in Cleere’s and over the past few weeks myself and the Chief have been planning out video content for this years Sessions.

While that content will hopefully start appearing online over the next few weeks I’ve just uploaded a first attempt at an animated logo for KilkennyMusic.com. I’ve spent the past week or so playing around with animated title sequences, getting to grips with 3D elements and creating camera movements in After Effects.

It’s a lot of fun but my main problem was that I didn’t really have any real content to work on, so with the Sessions approaching I asked Ken to send me on some KKM logos to play around with. The above animated logo was the preferred one in the end.

I kept it very basic to start with; bringing the K logo and the splatter in from opposite sides then moving the 3D camera so they move upwards as KilkennyMusic.com appears underneath. To finish it off I added a royalty free sound effect from the iLife collection.

I’m quite happy with it giving that it took about 10 minutes to create, they’ll get more complicated as I progress with After Effects and we start pushing out video content from the Sessions. As always feedback is welcome.

The first One Take Sessions of 2010 kicks off tonight in Cleere’s Theatre with performances from Kieran Byrne, Eoin MacNamara, Little Black Wren and Mugger Dave.

Doors open 9:30pm and it’s FREE! Check out KilkennyMusic.com for more details.
