DVD packaging idea

> I plan on producing a book for my DVD packaging. the book will be 14cm wide and 15 cm long. I'm going to add half a dozen pages with illustrations from the animations with short descriptions in calligraphic type. On the cover I want to de-boss the module code and my name, I did want to experiment with foil blocking with the de-bossing but with my time restraints I don't think it will be possible.

> The disc will be stored at the back of the book in a compartment like this, hopefully I will give myself enough time to develop and produce this idea.

Red riding hood does ikea

Interesting and original video from Tomas nilsson, very much like an ikea catalogue.

Silhouette Animation

Also very similiar to what i want to create, but i want my video to feel darker and more chilling.

Les trois inventeurs

An interesting clip from the film les Trois Inventeurs, similar to the idea I want to do but using silhouettes instead not paper.

Silhouette film

A short film project by Lotte Reiniger in 1955

Limbo.... Speechless

This is a playdead game for the xbox 360 called Limbo, the graphics are simple but beautifully dark. This is the kind of atmosphere I want my video to possess. The movement of the main character is puppet like quite like how i want my characters to move

German calligraphy

pop up fairytale

One of my ideas is to animate a pop up story book, going through the ten stories as the pages turn and illustrations will pop up out off the book and animate.

Chosen Grimm fairytales

Fairytale's by hand

some amazing pieces by Emma Van Leest, great detail. I could possible experiment with creating something like this (hand-crafted) and turn it into motion graphics. I may have to illustrate it digitally or take the hand crafted version on move it digitally on after effects.

Silhouettes

Unknown Artist//

Gustaf Tenggren's book sleeve. I really like the silhouette illustration, detailed in quite a simple way. Maybe I could animate silhouettes or experiment with hand cut designs.

Walter Crane's Illustrations

Rumpelstiltskin

Hansel & Grethel

Top ten..... Truths about Fairytales

After first deciding to do my top ten on truths about fairytales and researching into it I rediscovered Grimm's Fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The first edition of their book was a collection of germanic fairy tales and folklore. These were the original stories that had been passed down through generations and the purpose was to preserve Germanic Tradition. The Books caused controversy as these were intended for children but were harsh and cruel and true to life, back then fairytales didn't always have a happy ending. So I've now decided to compile a Top Ten Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales.

Great kinetic typography and a great poem

Where the Wild Things Are

Really frustrating that I couldn't find the title sequence to 'Where the Wild Things Are'. Personally one of my favourite title sequences and book adaptations. Read to me in my child hood, this film holds a few memories and to see it adapted into a great film was amazing and to see the masterful typography designed by Geoff McFetridge was a bonus.

Seven

Title sequence for Seven by kyle cooper, dark and grungy with a hand rendered feel to the type.

Typolution

a Stunning approach to animation and illustration through letterforms. One of the most impressive type in motion videos ive come across at the moment.
