Project Overview:

Create a visually stimulating 30 second video that has you wanting to watch it over and over again through a series of looping animations. An opening or closing title that has animation in some form (Camera move, animating on/off, objects animating within it) must be included as well. Type choices need to be thought out and feel cohesive with the rest of the animation. The videos must emphasize movement in unique satisfying ways. Abstracted machines, sophisticated/smart animation, and visually stimulating loops are prime examples.

Goals

-Practice basic modeling, texturing, lighting, and animating in Cinema 4D

-Revisit animation and comping skills in After Effects

-Continue to develop Typography skills

-Work on developing pacing and the ability to tell a story visually without a voiceover

-Become more comfortable using Cinema 4D and After Effects to composite
