Saab Website

This is a video showing the new Saab Website which has brilliant new interactive navigation. I found this when looking around for ideas on Motiongrapher for the Big Draw brief we were given. The nature of this site keeps the observer interested. I like the interaction between the drawings and the live action. This gives me loads of ideas for future pieces. The music that plays over the top is great too as it can be continuously be played on a loop without distracting the observer from what they are looking through. I think this is one of the best interactive sites I've been on as it is visually pleasing and well put together. Like i said its always keeping you interested.

When looking through the site I came across the Perfect Curves section with the pen that can be moved around. It inspired my stop motion piece that i created for the Big Draw. I loved the idea of following the pen around the image as it is being drawn. I have translated that into a stop motion piece that will be used as a TV sting for the Big Draw festival. I will post the finished outcome later.

Red Bee Media Website

I found this website last year when doing research into Grant Gilbert who was one of the visiting lecturers. The 2 worked together to great the new BBC idents that are all based around the idea of circles.

When looking through this website I was impressed by the navigation. It is all based around broadcasting with moving images across the screen. When moving down the menu the buttons gently bump in showing it is highlighted. also a little blurb come up next to the button to tell you whats on that page. Once a button has been clicked on, the background wipes to another location showing working environments with people moving around the space. The information is then enlarged to proving easier to read.

The main headings remain across the bottom of the screen and are easily accessible throughout the site. This site is very easy to navigate as well as being pleasing to the eye.
