animation project by yae lewis

title: switching positions

semester: 2023/fall

software: after effects

i decided to animate to a song, it’s one of my favorite songs and I wanted to go for an overall happy vibe. i chose shapes that I liked, round shapes, hearts, and stars. the colors came from the album cover being green and after I was bored with that I started to hue it more and more toward red, ultimately ending on that. as for the text and/or accents, I just slightly made them more saturated and brighter/desaturated and darker so it stays cohesive. the timing came from the song, I tried to use text to match up the words on time and make the transitions go with the beat. I think the most challenging part of this assignment was coming up with more creative ways to display text or do typography, something I think I struggle with outside of this assignment.

the song I used is “positions” by Ariana Grande
