Self Initiated Project
My Role: Concept, Animation
Audio: "Just Cool" by Urban
Software: Cinema 4D, After Effects
Project Time: 6 weeks
Overview
The goal of this project was to create an animation where the sound and visuals fit together perfectly as well as increase traffic on my personal instagram. Within this context I created a character "pearl" who went on daily trips outside it's shell. The story was divided into were short clips/mini-stories and posted daily on Instagram.
Come along for the ride as Pearl discovers the world around it. A reminder that there's a whole exciting world around you just waiting to be discovered!

Challenges
Working with a fixed soundtrack, rather a sound designer restricted the animation planning. I had to create motions which would fit perfectly, rather than firstly creating what I wanted and then finding a sound which complimented it. Also finding the right music to the video and style I wanted to create took quite some time.
Solution
My solution was to create a set of mini-stories under one theme. This generated ongoing interest and kept people coming back to my Instagram.
