ANCILLARY TASK 1 | IDENT

For the ident I wanted to use a character for a famous modern game and Overwatch is the most fun, popular and competitive arena shooter on the market right now. 

Out of the full roster of characters (excluding Sombra) there a few fan favourites but i also want the characterr to be mostly green to relate it to the channel's colour, so far I've got; Genji the ninja, Lucio the DJ, Mercy the guardian angel, Reaper the dark mysterious killer, Soldier 76 the starter character,Tracer the games mascot and Widowmaker the sniper.

Out of these 7 characters only two are green by default
 

and out of the two one is highly competitive and the other is highly casual. Genji looks cool but he is too cold looking, Lucio has a casual look on top of his casual play style.

So in the end I decided to go with Lucio since he's an entirely casual character and he wears more green than the other characters in his popular game.
Every character has a highlight intro that is played at the end of a game where they made an outstanding play, so I want to use one of those as a base for my ident.

Here's the one that I want to use:

This intro has an effect i can use in my ident, the side swiping motion. I'm going to sync up the beat with the characters movements to make the screen swing from side to side and then I'll end it with a wipe cut to my website logo.

After adding appropriate music and some lighting effects this is what the final product looks like:
