Richard gave us free reign to come up with a short ident which reflected the Bath Guitar School style. We initially played around with purely motion graphics ideas, but thought a bit of live action would be more fun! Luckily, we were right, and Richard was really happy with the results.

Filmed on a Sony EX1.
Graded with Magic Bullet Looks.
Animated in After Effects, mostly using Trapcode Particular 2.

Music by RockinRingtones (Sam Cross & Richard Perkins)

‘An active line on a walk moving freely, without goal. A walk for a walk’s sake.’
Paul Klee, Allegorizing Drawing

“The How to Live project will be leading a philosophical walking tour from Hay-on-Wye to Hay Bluff, on Tuesday 26th May 2009; …Walking and talking at the same time, as we make our way along Offa’s Dyke to navigate philosophical landscapes. We will be thinking about philosophy and walking, and the philosophy of walking.”

We tagged along with our friends from How To Live at the ‘How The Light Gets In’ Philosophy Festival at Hay and made a bunch of new friends along the way! We took some photos (see more here) and captured some footage on our handy little HV30, then stitched them all together to make this handy little How To Live promo.

Music by the fabulously talented Paul MacMahon.

When using gradient opacity masks, the mask will not go fully opaque unless the black swatch of your gradient is in RGB mode.

Default for gradients is Grayscale mode:

Illustrator Opacity Mask Gradient Grayscale

Illustrator Opacity Mask Gradient Grayscale

To fix this, double-click on the black swatch, then click the dropdown in the top right of the box that pops up. Change the mode to RGB.

If you’re not sure where to start with opacity masks in Illustrator, Bittbox is a great place to learn the basics.

We’ve made the site easier to update (using the amazing WordPress), so we should be able to get new and exciting things online much quicker than we have in the past. Bear with us whilst we get the bugs ironed out and all the old content updated to the new system. Oh, go on. Brilliant, thanks!

Also, our How To Live film is showing at crunch09 (the art festival at hay) this weekend. We can’t be there due to other commitments and I’m not sure where or when it’s being shown (think it might be in the gallery), but if I find out I’ll post an update.
