Malik Quinton After Effects Project

Title:  “All 41 14 All”

Semester/Year: Spring 2023

Software: Adobe After Effects

[MUTE AUDIO IF EXPLICIT LYRICS ISN’T YOUR THING]

This is a quick little project I originally made as a still Photoshop art for a potential opportunity at it being used for the Compilation Album for the NY/Brooklyn based rap group called ’41”, unfortunately I wasn’t chosen and was originally going to post it on my Instagram to add to my portfolio, but I saw the perfect opportunity to EXPAND on it even more and use the Assignment given to us by Prof. Owen and get over my fear of Adobe After Effects.

I originally was messing around with it back in December, learning things like the Timeline, Pickwhip, and Puppet Tools; The only thing I couldnt use was the 3D Camera, so I took the regular animation I did and took it to an application called CapCut, to add music, effects, and so forth.

Despite not being chosen for the previously mentioned opportunity, the art went noticed by the three subjects in the project on Instagram, and I also got over my fears and learned within 2-3 days. A win-win situation if you ask me.

Pac Man Game Intro – Animation

Title” Pac man loves money” Game Intro
Semester: Spring 2023
I wanted to create an intro of a Pacman game but this version he is apart of the mafia and he needs to collect his money before someone gets hurt. This is the animation right before the player starts to play.
(The video is shorter than 30 seconds once the screen turns black it is done. )

My Animation: Non-existent shoes

Title: Non-Existent Shoes

Spring 2023

I chose to animate a blue circle bumping into a red one who gets real upset and turns into a monster because for the 12th time, blue has stepped on his shoes, shoes that don’t, exist they don’t have feet.

Animated Emotion: Anger

Title: Animated Emotion: Anger
Semester: Spring 2023
Software: Adobe After Effects & Illustrator
I chose to create an animated emotion for this project using the word “Anger”. The impact shape and fist were both made in Adobe Illustrator and I created the text in After Effects with the text tool. I simply used the opacity setting the make the word fade in and to make the fist disappear after impact.

Train Ride

Summary

This is a portrait of waiting for the train, then it arrives, and finally I put in my headphones to listen to music. I lower the outside noise to insinuate the headphones entered. Then added a sound byte of air pods connecting.
