My Conclusion

so the dvd showcase is complete and it been a good experience for me during this project. i found this project very useful towards my future coming work and projects. Learning dvd studio pro was a little tricky at first but i got the idea of using it where i could create my only menus then using the default templates.

My DVD Menu done!


Below i took a snapshot of my dvd menus. I completed the buttons and made shall that everything was successfully link up properly. This took at least 2 days to finish putting together. I found this a good experience of learning dvd studio pro. The software wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be.

Final Showreel


I posted a copy of my completed showreel where i edited my best work using after effects and final cut pro. i enjoyed doing this which only took a couple of hours to do. Looking at previous showreels of other peoples work, give me a clear understanding of what i had to do. Producing this gives viewers an insight of what i am capable of doing.
I think i produced a admirable showreel with what i had to show. My showreel is targeted at 3D modeling and animation where i believe i have a intermediate level of learning.

My Design layout


Here i did a rough sketch of how i want my menu pages to look like in layout form. i had a vision of how i would want and intended menu to look like. my main source of reference was from a website called 3DLeigh who's work is amazing to look at.

This is a list of all my work that i have put together, that will be putting into my DVD showcase page Gallery. I have selected my best work that i felt was good enough for using.

Dvd Studio Pro












I had a lesson with Alex using dvd studio pro which was fine where he taught us the basics of creating buttons, menus and linking the pages together.
