Climate Change Is A Reality
For my Motion Design 1 final, I decided to create a 30 second animation advertising the environmental activism organization Greenpeace. Using Adobe programs (primarily After Effects, along with Adobe Illustrator), vector images, and statistics, I advertise climate change awareness and name Greenpeace as an institution which supports climate activism.
Learning Outcomes:
I gained an understanding of the Adobe After Effects program, and utilizing Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in creating animation frames. I also gained some basic technical animating skills, such as easing, parallax, proper frame transitioning, and synchronizing the movement of different objects a harmonious flow. Understanding that every animation "takes the viewer on a journey" and working with Wesley to achieve this was instrumental in my learning process.
