Natural Environment Research Council inks controversial research partnership with Shell

Greenpeace brands Memorandum of Understanding a “grubby deal diverting public money into the pockets of the world’s largest corporation”

By James Murray: 10 Feb 2014

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Shell that will see the publicly funded research body work with the oil giant on a range of new projects.

The partnership, which was announced on Friday, drew immediate condemnation from green groups, which accused the organisation of diverting public funds to support the extraction of fossil fuels in high-risk regions such as the Arctic.

AFTER EFFECTS ON-LINE ASSIGNMENT 2

STORYTELLING USING MOTION MEDIA

From the fourteen (14) choices of links shown where we are asked to choose our favorite spot, I included a link to the spot followed by a short written description of why, in my opinion this spot was the most successful.

Though the concept of success could take different forms or meanings or connotations on among different minds or individuals, as the concept of success, could be moulded to an image fit to their own personal perceptions and biases,  I would try, just for this project, to give a quantitative measurement on why I thought this link was the most successful, and I based my assessment for the success of the link on how many number of times I  personally wanted it visited and watched.

I have this link catching most of my attention,

http://www.imaginaryforces.com/featured-work/interactive/l-studio-origins/

This article describe patterns of migration of different people all around the globe and at different and continuing epochs.  The abstract utilization of red dots and accompanying lines next to each dots explicitly signified movements of people to different destinations around the globe at various times in world's history. Visualizing this abstract idea through animating trails in 3d space and application of the background music which perfectly suited the presentation is truly awesome.

For me the most effective use of After Effects started from the 38th second to 45th where the continuing shift from 2d to 3d of the time bar was brilliantly executed.

If  I may add, this timely relevant article in l-studio.  The video has this link,

http://www.imaginaryforces.com/featured-work/interactive/l-studio-vortex/

is likewise a classic example of a message presented in abstract format pertaining to the effects of plastic disposal in the ocean and think what we can do to curb this garbage "vortex" from getting worse.

In similar passion, I would want to share a collection of seven photographs taken by Chris Jordan which I think will bring us  to a higher level of awareness how grave the plastic pollution is,  not in abstract but this time shown in pictures and be inspired to bring life to those pictures using After Effects animation techniques.
