PROJECT 2 | ANIMATED INFOGRAPHIC
For the animated video, I plan to animate with a lot of vibrancy and energy
to reflect how Giocanda and Bartolo's energy in the Pasta Grannies video was
eccentric.
IDEA EXPLORATION
In order to have a good flow of instructions, I went on YouTube for some
simple animated recipe videos for some inspiration. Luckily enough, there
was this one particular (refer to Fig. 1.0) animated video that stood out to
me.

DEVELOPMENT
Making the animated video was relatively easier because I had gone through
the pains of experimenting with the speed-graph panel in After Effects while
making the final animation for the Final Project. I played around with
vibrant colours to further highlight eccentricity and liveliness, used super
speedy animations to make it concise and interesting, and I used Monsters
Inc by Randy Newman because it fits with the whole aesthetics so well. All
of the assets used are taken from the illustrations I've done in the
previous project.

REFLECTIONS
Experience
This project was really fun to make. Since I've refined my After Effects skills doing the final project, finishing this project came in naturally. Working in the software was easier compared to earlier in the semester and I'm happy to say confidently that I am now fluent in After Effects.
Observation
The part that I enjoyed the most while doing this project was finishing it. As comical as that sounds, seeing the result of all that hard work come together into one singular piece was absolutely astounding.
Findings
I find that at the end of the project, I tend to enjoy working most when I don't set high expectations on myself and instead enjoy the process of experimenting, all the while discovering what I like and what I don't like.
