GAME TIME UP ——

CONCEPT

In my daily life, my biggest hobby is playing video games. After going home from school and finishing homework, my happiest moment is to play games to relax. It can be said that games have been with me for more than ten years. I have been playing small game consoles like Tuoma Gezi since kindergarten. After I grew up, I started playing mobile games and computer games.

With the development of science and technology, games are being updated from generation to generation. However, the pictures and characters composed of squares in my childhood still make me miss them very much. After my research, I found that the style of this game is "pixel-style," and many Japanese old games use this style.Although the screen of the pixel-style match is straightforward, it is not monotonous. It uses various highly saturated colors, which are very eye-catching and make people feel excited and cheerful. In addition, the effect of neon lights is also very retro, and it often appears in places like the video game city. So I want to combine neon lights neon colors, and pixel styles.

ABOUT TYPEFACE IN VIDEO

I tried a lot of pixel style fonts and used photoshop to add a neon glow to them. I want the text to be as similar to the neon tubes as possible, after my trial and error I managed to add a neon effect to the text in photoshop, but I don't know how to add this effect in After Effects. After I repeatedly tried various functions and special effects in AE, I finally successfully added a glow effect to the text in After Effects.

THE STYLE FRAMES OF VIDEO

This is the first style frame I made. These style frames help me determine the style of my video. I used a lot of elements and characters from classic games, like the green water pipes and gold coins in Super Mario, and the characters in Pac-Man.
