Project 5

This project was relatively quick and painless. In editing, I focus mainly on masking with few other effects. Despite so little being used, I managed to create an interesting, interactive composition. There was one effect I had hoped to accomplish through masking on the text, but I couldn't figure it out.
The concept in this short piece steers right back toward my initial idea of rebellion. Although I am re-using previous characters, it saved me a lot more time. The graphic element is also apparent towards the end.

Project 4

Assignment Write-Up:

This project steered away from my original concept yet broadened my limitations. Instead of trying to express rebellion through images my mind stuck on (cowboys). I can find more imagery by broadening my concept to my art and experiences. The first project featured some of my sketches of cowboys while the second was more imagery inspiration for it. This last project animates the part of art in Mexican culture I found the most intriguing upon my visit their last year. I took characters and works of interest I photographed in the Museum of Mexican Folk art in Mexico City. I tried to create a simple context the characters could interact with that also expressed my experience in graphic design. I am excited to see what direction this project is taking me in. I aim to create more works like these to showcase my art and experiences.

Realization and New Direction

I think the reason for my troubles may be that I am thinking of After Effects as an illustrator's tool which is why my mind is only thinking in characters. But I am a designer so I need to think of this as an additive bonus tool for designers. I will go ahead with what I have so far for project 2 since it is complete, yet I would like to either re-do it or create a whole new project so I can apply more design.
