Martin AndersonLooking at the new BBC World News studio screens they have a slow moving looping animation. I wanted to have a go at re-creating it and this was my first attempt.
The colouring is not right, and its about double the speed that it should be. These will be fixed with the next version I will do in the coming days. But please enjoy this nice 4 min loop, along with some wonderful David Lowe BBC News music!

Original music created by David LoweA Tribute to Red and Cream - BBC News 2000Martin Anderson2020-05-13 | 20 years ago (give or take) BBC News re-branded with a very modern, and very refreshing visual and musical design. It was partly the inspiration for me to learn design and motion graphics.
Inspired by a friend who also decided to re-create that original design, I decided to create this tribute to that classic design, all be it with some tweaks and updates for today's resolution and technology.

Len Carlson is probably most famous as the voice of Burt Racoon.
Knowing what we know now, about how the pig like character Ganon was once more the Gerudo Ganondorf - the fact there seems to be a dual tone voicing in the cartoon is impressive.
The Dark brooding voice, and the manic crazy voice, reflect the duality of this character, in a way I appreciated then, and today.EastEnders explaining Gay TribesMartin Anderson2019-06-03 | Scene from Friday 31st June 2019

I would love Shuki Levi to release the Soundtrack but with the rights owned by so many, I doubt it will ever happen.Windows Insider - Project Neon - Acrylic and App Design exploringMartin Anderson2017-02-14 | Following the Windows Developer Day event, a new image emerged showing a Project Neon style Groove Music app.
I took it into Photoshop to examine button and element sizing, and then decided to try mock this up in XAML.First signs of Project Neon Acrylic - Windows 10 build 15007Martin Anderson2017-01-17 | Using version 15003 of the Windows 10 SDK, here is a first look at the blurred "Acrylic" effect that is said to be a big part of Project Neon's updated UI for Windows 10 and UWP apps.

It took a week and a half longer than I expected it to, and I tried to make it as accurate as possible, despite only having access to low resolution versions as my reference.
The animation was done with a combination of After Effects and 3DS Max.

Original music created by David LoweWindmills of your Mind - College ProjectMartin Anderson2014-10-09 | Found on an old Hard Drive - Looking back I was far too "on the nose" with the imagery, but as I was new to 3D modelling and animation, as well as editing, I used the lyrics of the song to inspire me to try to model a varied selection of things - and edit them to the music.The Landing - College ProjectMartin Anderson2014-10-09 | Found on an old Hard Drive - This was one of the animations I produced for my final assignment whilst at college back in 2002. We had to produce storyboards, and deliver a narrative. Whilst many in the group had great rigged and animated humanoid models, I couldn't get it right, so went with robots instead.RAF Central Band playing in NorwichMartin Anderson2014-09-16 | ...Quiet walk in LondonMartin Anderson2014-09-16 | ...Norwich asleep on a Sunday EveningMartin Anderson2014-09-16 | ...Tokyo trains, Akihabara StationMartin Anderson2014-07-18 | Back from 2011, and my time in JapanWii U - Mario Kart 8 - (N64) Rainbow RoadMartin Anderson2014-06-10 | Mario Kart 8My Tomodatchi debut...Martin Anderson2014-06-06 | Joining me is Dr Robotnik and Reggie.

I came back, edited them together with some music, and gave it some colour grading.
There were no lights other than those around the estate, so the original footage was very dark and of poor quality, but at least the shots were steady!
But along with the logo designs, I decided to put together an example Junction from BBC One. That is an End Credit promotion, A couple of short stings. Two channel trailers, and a BBC iPlayer promotion.
The original clips and trailers are from the BBC, and I remade the visuals to get them without any logos on them.

But I felt the pacing with them was off, as well as out of sync with the music, and an awkward way the box logo goes off screen.
So here is a re-edit to include an extra shot, and hopefully a better pace of motion and movement.The Night Traveller - Music CompositionMartin Anderson2013-02-18 | This is a piece of music I started composing back in secondary school on an old Amiga version of Cubase.

DON'T WORRY the video is only about 12 mins long :)
I have the outer walls done, the main roads laid, and a huge main tower built, as well as the moat completed. There is a village to do, as well as some kind of structures connecting the castle walls and town, to the tower.
I am thinking about how I might be able to get this onto a server somewhere for people to build their own towns in, and furnish and finish off the interiors. It would be cool to see any video responses to this with your own customised versions. If anyone is interested send me a message or comment below!Minecraft First Castle Video 2 - Lonely BuilderMartin Anderson2012-06-16 | This is my second time making a Minecraft video. Still no voice-over, and it is way too long!! The Quality should be better, but a little choppy. I can only assume its down to my graphics card!
Here I have built out much more of the framework for the castle, and in this video, I am beginning to fill in some of the walls, and towers, as well as the flooring detail.
I recorded about an hour and 20mins of footage, and edited it down to 46mins. I think in the future, I will try to keep these videos between 5-10 mins, or maybe just focus on specific parts of what I am building.
As before please feel free to post some comments. Perhaps off any tips to make the build better, or improve the design etc.First Minecraft Castle Build - Video 1Martin Anderson2012-06-13 | This is my first time building anything fairly large in Minecraft, it is also my first time recording myself playing the game, so I am sorry if it looks a little cruddy.
This is my castle I am building without any plans, so it will probably end up a mess, but that's how you learn I guess. I have been working on this over the past couple of nights, about 3-4 hours at a time. I am using Single Player Commands, but mainly for the copy, paste, and rotate commands to fix my silly mistakes.
If you have any suggestions on things to change, add, remove etc feel free to comment. I have chosen not to add any commentry, mainly because I can't stand how my voice sounds when recorded, but if you think I should add some, I will consider it for future update videos.
