Galp Pictures Logo :)



For the Galp Pictures Logo, our initial idea was to have the text 'Galp Pictures' within a swinging flickering lightbulb. We searched online for a swinging or flickering light bulb and the result of our search was that you have to buy the animation for atleast $79 .. we were shocked. So instead i figured as i have a lightbulb in my room and it swings, why not record it then use after effects to edit it. That plan unfortunately didnt go too well. So now it was up to me to find a way to create our logo. I ended up creating about 2 potential logos and 1 unfinished one due to time. The first logo i created on after effects was horrendous, it had all the colours of the rainbow on it and i wasnt too sure on how to use after effects. However through time i got better and better and became more familiar with after effects. The logo above was my second attempt at the Galp pictures logo, I used browse presets on after effects for the template then simply edited the layers, text, light bulb and effects. The final attempt was through photoshop, i had created a lightbulb and even got the flickering effect that we wanted, but due to time i wasnt able to finish it in time for the deadline.

When the logo was done, me and Louisa were brainstorming on the type of sound to create for the logo. We wanted a classic grand intro like the 20th Century Fox one. So in order to do that i had to do some research on the type of instruments, tone and effects used for such great intros such as that. Using some of the effects i found on the macbook ( explosion, chimes and a dreamy sound) i was then able to create the sound to go with our logo.
