LCD By Grace Panda



This is LCD an entry for the E4 Estings by Grace Panda.

The Idea seem to be to present the E4 logo in the style of a retro gaming system. There is no real story but the idea is to scroll from console to consoles sometime over lapping the graphics shown within the consoles screens.

The idea of an animation inside an animation is really clever. The viewer has a lot to look at with lots of graphics showing all over the place. Lots of the animation is true to the consoles movement which was limited due to it having an LCD screen. They had added colour though. The E4 logo is obviously present most of the time which is the idea of a sting.

The graphics are inspired by the characters and games that were on watch and game systems. This is also the source of the sounds as I recognize lots of the sound effects. They have been remixed together though. I like that the music has attention drawn to it by the monkey playing drums at the start of the animation. Drawing attention to the sound design can make an animation seem more exciting and makes it snappy.

Things to note:

  • The animation has a solid theme instead of any real story.
  • The logo is always on screen.
  • The colours used are E4 colours and fit in well.
  • The music is in-keeping with the theme.
