Hits: The history of pop

The 60’s is known most for the dramatic changes that took place in the decade. The 60s was a time of “out with the old in with the new”. The decade saw LGBT and civil rights appear in the public eye, British music was at an all-time high of popularity and musical icons of today experienced their first taste of fame.

Shooting to fame in 1962 with their first single “Love Me Do” that reached the number 17 spot on the UK charts. In 1964 The Beatles invented the first music videos with the premier of their film “Hard Day’s Night” at the height of their popularity.

In 1964 while the Beatles were conquering America, Bob Dylan released The Times They Are A-Changin’ a heavily opinionated album that was inspired by the Civil rights movement in America, increasing his notoriety of being a rising protest musician.

Meanwhile in England the Rolling Stones got their first booking outside London, As a result of the success of the single “Come On” which reached #21 on the UK singles chart, sharing the bill with The Hollies at a club in Middlesbrough, England. Soon after in 1964 their third single, a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" is released and reached #3 on the American charts.

In 1969 the decade came to an end with a bang when the first Woodstock, one of the most popular music festivals in the history took place. It attracted an estimated 400,000 people that came to see huge performances from names like Jimi Hendrix, and The Who. Three days of harmony to represent the best of the “peace-and-love generation.”

Entry 2
 

I like the idea of using a fractal effect for my motion graphics intro, to capture the interest the 60's had in all things psychelic. I'm going for something along the lines of these examples.

 

 

 

I don't know how difficult it would be to animate one of these, or if it can even be done in after effects...

 

Entry 3 

After doing some research I discovered that a fractal can be animated quite eaily in motion graphics.

This is the technique I will use.
