I chose to tell a love story between these two people because I just enjoy writing love stories. I mainly used Procreate to draw the pictures and then I took the last two panels into After Effects to add the video in the back of them. I edited together two animations that I had made in the past using After Effects and applied them here for the animation requirement. it added more to the comic and I’m satisfied with how it turned out. I wish I’d found better ways to display the animation because the gif came out static-y and I didn’t enjoy that. the gifs were also really big in terms of file size so it made my computer move slowly. next time I will explore more ways to display videos without the hassle. for the designs I chose colors that contrasted each other and made it clear that the two individuals are opposites, I like the opposites attract concept when making these types of stories. I don’t know how people will perceive this, but I hope they look at this and see a harmless onesided love story of someone being starstruck by someone else’s beauty. the most challenging part was the code, I don’t have much experience with it and I tried different things to make the website interactive but nothing felt cool enough to me. I solved this problem by keeping it simple and looking at the previous class examples by the professor.
all images and videos were made/owned by me.
