Assignment 1 - Five Potential Ideas

1. Star Trek Teleportation

My first idea is a teleportation scene, a bit like the ones from the Star Trek movies. It would not be too complicated, just an empty room and then a person appearing with some lights. This would require some green-screening and some colour grading to make it work.

2. Animated Butterflies

My second idea is to have either one or several animated butterflies burst out of a box. The number of butterflies depends on how difficult it is to achieve and how things look. This would require some animation, rotoscoping and tracking to create the butterflies and have them interact with the box.

3. Ball Bounce

My third idea is to create a simple animated ball bounce, but have it interact with a real background. This would require some animation and some 3D tracking in order to have the ball look as though it exists in the scene.

4. iPod Silhouette

My fourth idea is to create a silhouette video, a bit like the iPod ads. This would require some rotoscoping to separate the figure from the background and some colour grading to create the silhouette effect.

5. Magical Book

My fifth idea is inspired by the old Disney princess movies which starts with a book magically opening on its own. This idea would require either some green-screening or rotoscoping to make sure that the book appears to open without me touching it, some colour grading to enhance the atmosphere and possibly a magical sparkle created inside of After Effects.
