Summary
A video expressing the feeling of longing.
By: Lily Hosein
I decided the emotion I wanted to portray was longing. I first drew a character looking out a car window, then animated the light on the character. Next, I created a simple cityscape in Illustrator and then imported everything into After Effects and began putting it together. To incorporate text and more advanced animation, I decided to add a billboard that would have some animated text on it.
For the final version, I added another drawing and panned over it, then I added sound in Premiere Pro. I found the sounds on OpenGameArt.org. I wanted to add two new drawings, but I got sick and ran out of time, so I only added one. The drawing I added was the character standing on some kind of bridge or highway overpass, looking out while her hair blows in the wind. For the third drawing, I would’ve done the character standing by a wall. In the end, I feel like the first drawing is the best one.
