Wk 11: My First Animation II – The Sea or Not

The Sea or Not, credits to Esther Zhang and Allie Yu

I cooperated with Allie Yu on this animation.

Our animation is based on a story about making a decision between responsibility and pleasure. We kept an open ending to let our audiences to think and imagine.

It was a bit challenging for me to create a furnished and professional animation from the sketch in less than three weeks. I tried to apply different techniques from class and explored some other approaches to make this animation and I learned a lot about how that system worked in After Effects. It was fun to try out new approaches taught in class, such as puppet tool, loopOut(), and some other fun AE effects. Although the final animation is not as professional as I imagined, I felt that what I learned from finishing this animation and from class help me to get familiar with After Effect.
