Website Banner (P2)

Just like my trailer, I wanted my banner to have the same representation, I wanted people to know after looking at my trailer that my banner was for the same game. Machinima animation is my entire banner, my banner literally contains game footage with animated text over it. This animation portrays everything that is needed to know about my game and the simplicity of it. Was Machinima animation my first idea? No, I intended on doing sequential photography first, where I might start my character from the left like done below, then every few frames Id retake the snapshot and continue doing that until the character jumped onto the floating platform, then I would have added the images together and slowly faded each new character on one after each other to look something like this:


I started my animation of by recording a small clip from my game, once I did that i zoomed in on the character and part of the level, once I reached the edge of the screen I wanted text to appear that displayed my game name.

Here is the first draft:





Then I added sound and a white fade out screen at the end to finish the whole animation of. Although the animation was short and simple, I believe the whole banner displays that my game is a platformer and it shows evidence of puzzles due to the name which appears. 

This is my final version:
