Title: Scared
Semester/Year: Spring 2024
Software: Adobe After Effects
I chose to animate the emotion Scared. I started with a circle that represents someone’s body when they are scared. It shakes and trembles and moves all around in fear. I used another two circles to represent eyes. Our eyes say a lot when we are scared, they dilate or grow and reflect how scared we are. I also used a rectangle to show a mouth. This mouth changes from rectangle to circle because we often gasp or scream in fear. Our mouths also tremble or quiver in fear. I chose the colors red and orange and black because they represent halloween in a sense, and that’s when people are often times drawn to more scary stuff. The pacing is pretty even, but you’ll see the animation get quicker as the circle gets more scared. The hardest part was managing all the animations when they’re all open. Like you mentioned in the video, the tab is so small and gets crowded easily. It’s funny if you catch what the circle was scared of in the end (hint: it’s midterms).
