Major Project 2 - Starting the HUD graphics

My film requires a heads up display (HUD) effect for multiple shots. This is used to convey information to the audience about the workings of the credit system within the world.


I have worked from many references of heads up displays from games and film 

In 'The Visual Effects of Iron Man' there is a section where they talk about how they created the HUD for the first iron man film. This was very interesting and useful as to how I could create a HUD that felt useful and real. (HUD section starts at 7:30)

I have made an easily editable Photoshop file which will automatically update into AfterEffects. This file can be used as a template for any shot where the HUD is needed. This is just a start on this process, I will be finalising the design when I create it for the actual shots. When doing so, I can also experiment with more animation in the HUD.
