Space Girl 3000 - Distrubution Methods

Internet;
I will put Space Girl 3000 online on Vimeo, Vimeo does not receive as many views as video hosting sites such as Youtube but at least it'll be online for people to see. It is a big decider however if I want to put the video on Youtube or into festivals. Since you can't submit a film to a festivals if it is already on Youtube I'll have to choose between online publicity or publicity through festivals.

I feel that an internet presence is a big importance since people watch the video and send it to their friends. Because of this I think it'll be incredibly helpful to me by putting it online.






Festivals;
Like I stated in the Internet section, if I were to upload the video to Youtube I wouldn't be able to submit it to festivals. However submitting it to festivals would be really helpful in the fact that it'll be seen by many big names and companies, rather than teenagers on the internet. By being seen by companies it opens doors to many job opportunities that could give me full time jobs, rather than commissions online.


Though I feel an internet presence is important, I am hidden by aliases and am not really presenting myself. Whereas with submitting to animation festivals I am presenting it myself and showing the world what I am capable of.









Word of Mouth;
Though it is not distributing the animation, talking about it through online sources like Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, and also through family and friends. I can show them via the main source on a USB or a private screening through Dropbox. Like I say, it isn't distributing but it lets people know about it. However the main ways of distribution would be through online distribution and through festival distribution.

Space Girl 3000 - Poster

I decided to create some publicity artwork for Space Girl 3000, the poster contains all the cast; Nancy Nebula, the 2 Fish goons, Mr Philip Money and the Thug. The poster gives the date it will be submitted and a short, 1 line synopsis of the film. The drawing of the characters are from the character sheets, whereas the background is taken from the animation itself.

Space Girl 3000 - DVD

While looking at the module brief, I noticed a section stating that we need some form of publicity artwork, because of this I took it upon myself to create a Space Girl 3000 DVD. I didn't want anything too in your face, I just wanted something that lets you know what it is, so I only placed Nancy and the logo on the front with a background. The back however was where all the information is, a synopsis, what is actually on the DVD, a few stills and information about the film.

Space Girl 3000 - Finished Animation

After over 6 months of production I can finally present Space Girl 3000, an original idea created and animated by myself, with sound design done by my sound designer and friend, Daniel Dunkley. I consider the animation to be a vast improvement from my previous animations such as The Fresh Panda of London Zoo and The Universe of Matt Miles. Through the process of animating this video I have finalised my background styles, I have finally cleaned up my character outlines now and I can finally achieve basic character movement through frame by frame animation rather than tweens.
