Today, Computer animation becomes popular because it encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images. Modern computer animation usually uses 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings.
Therefore, some people forget about traditional animation technique, especially cutout animation which is producing stop-animations by using flat characters overlap on each other and backgrounds.
How can I get attention and strong campaign for SAFF 2017?
I would like to combine traditional and modern animation technique in the festival.
“Visible Layers” and “cut-paste-animate” taglines represented how the animate movie was made which is the technique of overlapping images, illustrations and time frames to make the characters move .
I was inspired by cutout animation, I will animate flat characters and show them in different layers.
For crossing multi-media, Gotham family and Coluna font will be a good choice to use for the primary and secondary typeface.
Create a new SAFF logo 2017 to match with the theme of the event and also with the chosen typeface.
Make different layout and font size to ensure it works on different layout from billboard into web banner.
Design a full wallpaper for elevator with the concept of “layers in layers” to match with the brand “Visible Layers”
Also, for crossing-multimedia purpose, I put the link to QR code in magazine ad series for reader can scan and it will guide them to a short video as a teaser of the event and show the website link at the end to bring user to website to learn more details.
