The Project

For this project, I wanted to combine my passions for music and animation and encourage myself to explore new motion graphics techniques that expanded my skillset. I ultimately decided upon creating an illustration I felt expressed the lyrical content of the song, and have it slowly unveiled throughout the course of the video culminating in the full design in motion.

I created the design and divided the illustration into key moments for my storyboard. From there I created the overall design that would be the basis for the different scenes shown in the animation. This allowed me to plan transitions, pacing, and style for the video in advance. After finishing the sketching process I finalized the digital version of the design and began production on the final video.

Overall this project taught me the importance of storyboarding and creating smooth transitions between scenes to create a more fluid animation. This project also taught me the important role timing the animation to music can play. It makes every movement and action feel more impactful and rewarding throughout the entire animation.
