We have been given the brief to come up with a 10 second ident for the channel E4. This week the plan is to come up with some ideas, which are hopefully liked!!

Off the top of my head i can already think of some i have seen that i like. I like quite a few of the MTV idents, before starting this course i really like the below two videos - they are the ones which made me think it would be really cool to learn how to do that and to be able to actually have my own work on the tv.

I like the character design as well as the movement in the above videos. I think its really talented the way that moving one line makes the effect of the character moving closer to the screen or moving in general.

While looking through the MTV ident page, i noticed this video as well on MTV Hits. I think these characters are simple which makes them likeable. It looks like it was easy to make but when you factor in they have the mouths moving and the actual character moving it probably did take some time to time it perfectly.

I also like the MTV Dance idents, i think they are well done, at the moment since i dont know how to do everything on the programs we use i am in awe in how they do this!! i love how they use different shapes to go along with the beats of the song and the illusion is a person dancing.
