HOWL - LYRIC VIDEO
February 2025
Project Summary:
Howl by Florence & the Machine was my song of choice for this open-ended project given by my winter 2025 motion design course. As a precursor to our final project working with Hope Shelters, I knew I wanted to experiment with hand animation techniques used in a digital program, to hone my skills for the final client presentation.
This project uses a combination of hand drawn animation, typical after effects tweening, animated texture and effect controls to create a cohesive experience.
For the frame-by-frame animation, the initial motion was sketched and timed using Clip Studio Paint’s animation timeline, and exported into a Photoshop file to be transferred to the adobe suite and vectorized for use in After Effects.
Closing:
This project tested my knowledge of frame-by-frame and tweened animation for the purposes of design. The song chosen as well as my desired outcome required exacting use of color, composition and transitions to make the final piece flow in a satisfying way.
