Hacking WiiFlow Boot Animation Competition!

[spacepimp]

Couldn't sleep. Finished this

It's a bit lo-fi, but I like it

EDIT: Thinking about it, lo-fi seems appropriate for a Wiiflow that plays emulators

Was thinking of adding a reflection of the cover on the black below the logo - see what it looks like tomorrow!

My final submission

Let me know what you guys think...

Here's my submission
Slower to faster respectively.

Looks nice try to make both Wiiflow and the ring appear at same time and in the same direction (i.e ring from left to right) this way both has same number of frames to finish and will look smoother.
Nice work

This better?

My Version (10 Frames: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/1)

looks good, nice effects to it but it need to have a hight of 100px and a width of 200px, plus a max of 10 frames not 19

 

[spayrosam]

Thanks
10 frames:
Play frame 1 to frame 10 then playing animation backwards
Gif size can be corrected.

 

[pepxl]

no probs, i would make the bg black so it wont look odd when WiiFlow renders in centre screen but other than that i like it.

p.s

you read my mind about pulsing glow round WiiFlow, had one done but cant find it

EDIT 2:
To show all Frames: (Adobe Photoshop CS3 / CS4 / CS5 /..)
Open the animation palette by choosing "Window" from the menu bar and selecting “Animation.“

I'm sure there's a couple of mistakes in there somewhere, but it's beginning to hurt my mind.

Took out all the curves - only linear blocks of colour.
Realigned the lettering to overlap at the most obvious point.
Added a reflection
Was about to try to add waves going out - but that is just going too far - for now
whoops backwards!
Forwards:

Second is better, wiiflow coming smoothly whereas the outside ring is coming in 4 steps,
try dividing the outside ring into 9 equal steps + 1 black frame and I'm sure It will look much smoother way to go

Really lovely, only bug is the effect for "WiiFlow" is kind of blurry when resized to small size, maybe different text/effect color will fit better

This is a quick sketch of my concept in black and white (needs colors and text effects later):

I like this!
But, I thought the whole point was to make it more time relevant. i.e. easier to tell passage of time?

Abz, this is really nice as is! maybe flatten the circle a bit? and reverse the colors...just my opinion since the background will be black?

I made this in a minute, just an idea crossed my mind while watching what has been done already, no colors no effects as I said. Feel free to edit it the way you like

Second one, definitely a winner really nice

Added a vertical element to the swoop - exaggerated this on the reflection to evoke an angled/distorted reflective surface. Not sure that's the effect, tho'?
Obviously, the upper "wiiflow" (not the lower "mlltrom"!) would be center justified.
Is the reflection dark enough?

EDIT:
v.2

A friend did this

I prefer the last one too . I have a couple of suggestions if you're up for refining it a little more?
If the ring faded out (over 8 different greys!) after the spark (so it was darkest in front of the spark, and brightest behind it's path), it could continuously loop and might look a bit smoother. You can have 2 or 4 sparks running round, so there's less distance covered between frames.
Also, you could use 8 different sparks? Maybe rotate, or progressively stretch the same one?
Lastly, the glow around the lettering could be a bit more consistent - perhaps after the letter appears you could have a short sequence of glows around it?
