MMP100 | ANIMATION PROJECT STATEMENT
Heartbroken animation
Spring 2024
Adobe After Effects
Using Adobe After Effects, I made an animation that, in an artistic and abstract way, depicts the emotion of being heartbroken. I used scale to make the heart image beat, and then I used a shatter effect to create the image of the heartbreaking. Also, I used a background of clouds to create an idea of turbulence and negative emotions. I had a lot of issues with figuring out how to use the timeline and add the effects to the animation in an order that made my idea work, and there were a lot of issues for me with the effects not working as I intended or the effects overlapping each other resulting in the heart beating and exploding simultaneously, I also had to learn about layers to make this concept work. I ended up using a lot of videos on YouTube to help me get this idea to come to life.
