Animation – MMP 100 Spring 2025

Gratitude

Animation Final Project

Spring 2025

Adobe Animate

I animated the feeling of gratitude. I used a palette of pinks and greens, and ended with a blue. I wanted it to have a warm and soft visual quality. I hope it expresses a level of tenderness, and emotional resonance. I had the word gratitude, abstract forms, and flower like shapes float across different areas throughout the animation to represent moving through gratefulness. Conveying gratitude through elements expanding, unfolding, and shifting. I also used a piano track I recorded in GarageBand to add another layer to the emotion.

Storyboard:

Depression

Spring 2025

Software: Adobe Animate

I animated my depiction of how I observed people who were depressed around me. I often notice they try to imitate an overly joyous personality to get a break from their broken sad state. My biggest challenge was overcoming my personal relationship with depression to provide a bigger message for those who may need it!

My Animation draft

I am animating depression and how many people cope with it. It is a very deep message on how many people decide to cope with depression.

My first Animation

Hi, this is the first animation I have created. I created this animation using Adobe Animate and using the shape tool with the Poly Star shape. Hope you enjoy!

my baseball animation

Untitled-4 Download

I used lines and circles shapes to create stick figures playing baseball to show my love for the sport. I always wanted to do something like this and hopefully I can make a better one in the future.

Emotion Animation Project

Anger!
Spring 2025
Adobe Animate

This animation represents my view on anger, and how it is ultimately short lived, having an event that sets it off like a fuse leading to the ultimate explosion that releases the emotion.

I used a combination of motion tweens, symbols and frame by frame animations alongside one another to compile this somewhat short representation of the emotion.

I was unable to correct the strange desync from my draft so to work around it I used the motion tween of the pencil to rewrite the word along its path. This kept the majority of my drafts work intact to complete the animation as a whole.

All assets drawn by me within Animate.

My animation draft

I Animated the word Good morning with a dark background and each letters bouncing and moving around with the ball.

Good Morning

Spring 2025

software is Adobe Animate

i Animated the word Good Morning. I used adobe animate with motion tweens and classic tweens to capture emotion.

Friendship Animation

I created a storyboard animating a ball creating a friend with another shape. I used Adobe Animate to create a classic tween to show both shapes moving other. I did this without the added gif and created this animation by scratch.

I also created a storyboard showing my animation. Overall I had fun doing this even though I was a little frustrating with some of the animation buttons lol.

Storyboard Frustration

I decided to create an animation about frustration. Where a person realizes he’s being fired and expresses his frustration over the new information. The moment he smashes the his hands into his knees and it cuts out with a flash effect, really symbolizes the magnitude of his emotion, and I thought the color red really conveys this emotion well.
