Sky News Election 2012 TOTH

EDIT: Mock Updated. See here - http://www.tvforum.co.uk/thegallery/sky-news-election-2012-toth-38712/#post-848249

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd try my hand at creating a TOTH for the Sky News US Election 2012 coverage. It follows similar principles to the current design, with the images being built up in layers. Had to use an off-air recording of the Sky News Election theme, as I don't have an official copy of the soundtrack. High quality stills can be found below the video, for those who don't want to watch the moving footage. Would love to hear what you think!

Enjoy!

Quite impressive, james. It looks the part, however, more animation would really improve it, as it is a bit too static at the moment. Maybe even speeding up the time it takes for the iPhone animation would make it more slick? The normal Sky News TOTH uses to cuts to change between certain platforms, doesn't it? Instead of having the phone animate in and out, have it animate in, and then maybe cut to a different shot, with a computer, etc?

Just a few ideas. It looks very promising.

Thanks Critique for the comment on the video. Made changes accordingly:



What do you all think? An improvement?

What are you using for this? Good mock, although you might need to make the transitions a but more..smooth?

Great mock, James! I think that you need to make it a bit more fast paced, to tie in with the music and just to give it a more of a 'feel'.. if you know what I mean?

::Happy Face::

Impressive standard of work from you as usual. Keep up the great work James.

Bravo James, another superb mock.

Far better than most things in the gallery so it gets 4/5...

Needs more animation though, as critique said. The Sky logo is glossy so the graphics should fit that.

Very nice changes. However, it sort of ruins the effect when the background remains the same when the device changes, so even if it just helps fake the perspective, a good think to look at would be the background changing (from a different angle and the like).
