What Does UNPAID Motion Design Look Like? This Actually…

I’ve made this video to talk directly to a client called Scott who didn’t pay for a logo animation he asked for.
This was meant as a “handover” tutorial, but things ummmm ….escalated.
But if you’re not Scott, keep watching, as I’ll run through the techniques I used. So it should be helpful if you’re interested in working in a similar style.
There was no real brief, except for something with a "punky aesthetic".
I basically ripped off the way Hobie Brown is animated in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This was the reference for the cutout style and type effects.
I also looked at “punk” films from the 70s / 80s, such as Breaking Glass (1980), Suburbia (1983), Rude Boy (1980), Sid and Nancy (1986) and others. Partly for research beyond just looking at Spider Punk, but also the plan was to collage elements from some of these films into some kind of tableau.
Sort of a motion design version of the cover of Sergeant Pepper.
(Now I write that I really wish I had. Dammit)
I narrowed the scope down to collaging a scene from a film called Times Square (1980), where two characters throw tvs off a roof in New York. The footage is heavily treated then resolves to Jodie’s logo at the end.

Times Square (1980) isn’t easy to find in the UK, but if you live in the US there is a Kino Lorber blu-ray you can buy here: kinolorber.com/product/times-...
If you want to support this channel I would encourage you to buy it, as they are a great distributor of rare films.
