New Year, New Opportunities

To kick off this year, we've been given the opportunity to get on board with a live brief for Lumen. The brief requires us to work in teams to generate a series of animations that will be projected onto The Lifting Tower in Leeds over the Christmas period.

I thought that this would be a really good small brief for me to complete to help me get back into the swing of things and start the year off. So with this in mind, I teamed up with Lauren, Katy and James, as there was a lot to be done in a short period of time. Once we had got together and had a thought about what it was we wanted to pitch to Lumen, we managed to come up with 3 ideas that we felt reflected Leeds and the surrounding area quite well, without being too festive and 'cheesy', these were:

- An orb of light travelling through a forest lighting them up as Christmas trees as it moved through the space. 

- Lines/ Ribbons that flowed through the space and formed themselves into different landmarks around Leeds. 

- The German Market: A series of iconic objects that represented the German Market would pop up in a pop-up-book like style.

I have been given the role of creating concept work and thumbnails for the German Market idea before handing them over to Katy, who will be in charge of storyboarding.
