Day #10 Completed Animated Guide for Distance Learning

MAR 30 Mon / INTERNSHIP JOURNAL : Completed Animated Guide for Distance Learning

I have finished synchronizing royalty free music with the animation I worked on last Thursday.
The duration of the video is 55 seconds. 1:1 square ratio 600x600px.
and.. Of course I have a typo! I’m going to have to fix that next time.

I tried to make this animated guide as delightful as possible because people are already stressed and scared. As a student I also follow a lot of official school accounts for info. I’m glad that I can provide fellow students useful information for this crisis.

Day #9 Making animated guidelines for distance learning

MAR 26 Thu / INTERNSHIP JOURNAL : Making animated guidelines for distance learning

I added animation to graphics using After Effects today, and finished 1:1 ratio 600*600px version.

I’m thinking of adding a  royalty free soundtrack I found on Youtube. I’ll be finishing up adding music to the video next Monday.

I designed and organized all elements statically on Photoshop to begin with. It made things visually organized and pleasing but I realized it might be inefficient work flow in terms of adding animation.
