CUSTOM SPLASH SCREENS BY STORYMSTUDIO - Cost: UK £120 (currently US $196 with exchange rate)

To include:
- Custom animated text/design/graphic based on your own rough idea/brief.
- 2 rounds of amends if needed. (just to stop me making endless versions for weeks)
- Audio sting to go with it, using the royalty free library of sounds I have.
- Splash screen made in HD so you have a future proof version for any future ipad and iphones.
- Provide a 24 bit and compressed 8 bit png sequence
- PNG sequence sized appropriately for iphone retina display.
- Provide the audio as an mp3 file (or other if preferred).
- Provide GameSalad file with 'splash screen' scene setup for reference.
- Provide master after effects file and assets for safe keeping.

Splash Screens:
Obviously there are limits to how long the splash screen should be, particularly with GameSalad's current loading times and file sizes. I'd recommend around 2 seconds of animation ending on a frame that can stay on screen as long as you like before fading to black or white (or just change scene).

The splash screen will be created in full HD using Adobe After Effects, if you already have a logo font you want used or any logo elements (vector files ideal) please send them over. With a rough idea of what you want your splash screen to look like and do. There are endless cool ways to bring in text.

Examples of my work:

More motion graphics work I've done recently:


And a cool tv ident sting I created for a pitch at work:


..........

I'm obviously nearly finished on Escape Artist, so could start work on your splash screen next week.

I might post my splash screen services as a thread on the forum thanks again for the interest.

Cheers

    OMG you do this all in after effects, Thats amazing!

    I started with aftereffects a few months ago, I probably need to go through some more tutorials.

    How did you learn to do this?

    Thanks SkyMaple glad you like the work... :-)

    Quick history on my life as an animator/motion graphics guy...

    I studied animation at uni like 7 years ago now (damn I'm getting old quicker than I thought).
    Learnt alot of hand drawn animation, bit of Flash animation, lots of 3ds Max and a tiny bit of video editing and incy bit of After Effects. Then a year working for a kids cartoon company, some freelancing finally got me my current job where I've been for 5 years, doing after effects and video editing full time 5 days a week with the odd spot of 3d and hand drawn stuff. Its a cool job at times... (still rather be my own boss and set my own hours)

    HOW 2 LEARN AFTER EFFECTS
    Best way to learn after effects is to simply use it... a lot...I only knew a tiny portion of it when I start using it for work, there's so much it can do, motion tracking, 3d (not full 'Pixar 3d' but some cool layered stuff with lights and shadows), 2d, tonnes of effects, plugins, there are some great after effects tutorial websites, and even pre-made projects for flying round photos and stuff in a cool way. But they would be hard to grasp without a decent knowledge of the software (just like GameSalad templates). No premade animated logos for your games though... thankfully.. :-)
