Title sequence editing work - Teletubbies


In this exercise, we tried to re-create the opening of the Teletubbies using Adobe After Effects. We started by mimicking the shape of the sun, using the pen tool and a blurring effect. We also masked the shape of the baby's head, to make it more accurate to the real thing. To make the shapes of the sun and the baby move at the same time, I used the parenting tool which enabled the shapes to move in sync with the face. This therefore enabled me to use a transition on all of the shapes at once. Another effect I used was the rotation of the sun's rays and the change of opacity of the baby's face. I did this not only to make it more like the real thing, but to make it more interesting and less monotonous. I also changed the opacity of the background as the sun rose, therefore making it seem like the sky is lighting up.
The addition of text was an original idea, which I introduced as it would be more true to my own future title sequence. I used the transition of the text, again, in preparation for my final film opening, as it is something which I am keen to use in it.
If I was to do this task again, I would spend more time on the continuoual development of the sequence to make it seem more professional and seamless.
