Are you ready to start your career? Stevenson University Commercial

This is the very first T. Michael Jett Production posted on the web, a quick motion graphics piece I threw together for my school, Stevenson University. Watch it a couple times, soak it in. It's worth it :) Oh, and leave some comments!

info tech, app math and theatre get to close to the edge.

i also think this song is being used in an existing commercial. you might want to double check that....

sorry for all of the comments....

no worries on all of the comments, I appreciate it. So I'll try to address some of your concerns. The U in the end is meant to tie into U as university because my school recently changed its name from Villa Julie College to Stevenson University. As for the logo zooming larger at the end, I thought it might look a little cheesy so I kept it small and subdued at the bottom of the screen. It's enough when you're watching it normal resolution, youtube tends to butcher things with the compression.

Some of your icons animate, some don't. Art is the only one that is colored, why? Marketing, why the football game play? maybe at the end when everything fades accept for the SU logo you should make it zoom larger and move it in the middle of the screen.

As for the animation of the icons, some worked well with animation (such as the people, the scales of justice, etc) while some didn't (the microscope, the money from finance) ... as for the marketing icon, I figured marketing is very much a strategy based business practice so I thought it worked. As for the slowly flipping letters, I thought I had caught them all but I guess not. As for the quick transitions, it's meant to be in sync with the music, as well as make people to watch more than once

I <3 this. sooooo much better than the crap that actually came out of SU.

...some majors i cannot read bc it doesn't stay on screen long enough, like bio, info tech, finance, app math, and marketing. Slow flipping of the last letter: paralegal (the L was slow to rotate up) same with chem Y. try to make all of the jumps in-between majors equal time sometimes they jump 2 fast.

do you need to have the "u"? I think it needs to be spelled out. if your going for a texting like look or if you are emphasizing the U in university then you'll have to take the U from SU at the bottom and have it move to fit into that sentence.

Very, very nice, especially for a first project. I do have a suggestion, though. I think it could have ended a little stronger on the audio with a softer, longer fade out, or with the opposite of rising audio toward the end to a sudden cut. Aside from that, it was pretty much dynamite.
