Discovery Channel ident

Shark week ident.

I have done some research into shark week on the Discovery Channel.. Shark Week is one of the most popular shows to appear on the discovery channel and so I have decided to theme my ident on this. It will be quite different to the other idents on the Discovery Channel, but the others are done with motion graphics and 3D and I have not yet got that ability.


I have watched hundreds of videos from previous shark weeks and other videos of sharks on youtube and have decided on either having the logo in the water with sharks circling it, having the shark eat the logo and us seeing inside the sharks mouth, or a shark breaching the water and grabbing the logo like it would grab a seal. I think this idea is the most dynamic and interesting, and I think it would be a fun challenge to get the movements and speed to look realistic.


I've done some studies of sharks for research to get a good realistic looking shark, as the Discovery Channel would not suit a very stylised cartoon shark as much as a realistic natural looking shark.


Here is my storyboard.
