UMD Promo.mov

This is very slide show like and that's okay but it's kind of the basic ground idea of still images that just zoom in and out with text spliced over it like some sort of powerpoint. What I need to keep in mind is motion and transition that's not cheesy so project 1 can be the best that it can be.

Microsoft stop motion promotional

There are a lot of good ideas here but they get way too jerky in the animation. I think it would be more effective if the segments that are not facing the wall would go back to filming at a tv frame rate. There's a lot of cliche in the graffiti but I like the use of the microsoft logo in the beginning and the end. The repetition of the 'be x' is effective, the font reminds me of cards against humanity but it still works.

UMBC HSC Holi Hungama 2013 (Promo)!!!!

Okay I like the graphics of this one even though it's about a cultural event rather than promoting the college itself.



One thing that I would to see is a stronger connection between the video segments and the text and visuals that were created in after effects. Any difference in color, saturation, and style could jar the person viewing it and take them out of the promo.

Columbus State Community College Commercial

This one is really awkward how it's zooms in on the girl and she just stares at the camera. The announcer has a good voice and tells you what it means to go to college and get an education. I also really like the graphics at the end and the motion sweep of the colors



Very quick and impactive but very awkward for the first 10 seconds

Carroll Community College's latest commercial.

Thanks Carroll for being lame and having embedding disabled because you know sharing your video is such a bad thing.



The style of this video is very simple with the cut up words being mixed and matched to describe the different aspects of the college. Now I think they could use the schools colors more and different words because they use better three times instead of buzz words like (thrive, prepare, establish, build, become, advance) that would have a bigger impact on the viewer.
