One of my favorite Disney films of all time is "Monsters Inc.", following the story in a world of monsters where screams of children are obtained by crossing through doors into the human world, and used as a power source. The introduction to the film is a sequence of vector graphics of doors and monsters which seemingly pass from door to door scaring as they go. Like the idents I want to produce it captures pace and movement really well. It may seem strange to associate this with my idents which depict blood and gore, but this is what the twist is about. An unconventional use of romanticised hand-cut shapes in an animation which depicts a scene of bloody terror, twisted? I think so.

  3. - idents are good for background, and it looks like you have an idea of where you're going, especially with the ones you've done already.

    - concept is clearly stated, content is good as well. you have a clear idea of the paramters of the brief and what you're trying to do within that.

    - try to look at more individual designers, like you did with saul bass. there seems to be a lot of good direction you can get out of that

    - keeping it simple seems to be a good option, again saul bass inspired
