Psyop Workshop: Blurring the line between art and commerce in advertising. An exploration of the process.
Wednesday 24th June at 15:00-17:00
This workshop will give the audience an insight into the process and thinking which Psyop goes through on a typical project, from conception, through script development, character design, stylistic explorations, animation tests and previz, editing, rounds and rounds of animation, compositing, creation of effects, and achieving the final look.
Through looking at a few specific projects at different stages, we will interactively involve you in the decisions we make on a day to day basis over the course of a project and how they might effect the final outcome, including looking at stylistic and character references, picking character designs, what to look for in a style frame, how to judge previz and animation, and how it always all comes together in the end!
Good design starts with a good concept - taking the germ of an idea and running with it. In that spirit, and to demonstrate the importance of play, spontaneity and creative exploration, delegates will be divided into groups, given a music track, posterboard, some markers and a range of interesting visuals and will be asked to come up with a concept or story inspired by the music. Work will be presented, prizes will be given, fun will be had.
Psyop has a proven track record of creating some of the most artistic and well designed messages for some of the biggest and most progressive brands in the World including the Cannes Silver Lion winning Happiness Factory series for Coke, the TV incarnation of the Cannes Gold Lion winning Beijing Olympics "Together" campaign for Adidas, Converse's 100 year anniversary "My Drive Thru" music video & TV campaign, and MTV's HD showcase "Crow", they are undoubted masters of putting the a-r-t into AdveRTising.
