the book of love
While the basic purpose of “The Book of Love” is to deliver lyrical information, my primary goal was to visually convey the meaning and feeling of the song beyond the words. I wanted to emphasize intimacy and human connection, opting for handmade animations and imagery reminiscent of a flipbook or love note you would make for a grade school crush.
The project began with an initial concept presentation, followed by style framing and storyboarding to develop the visual style and tone of the overall video. The lyrics were then divided into thematic chunks to be animated individually, frame by frame, which was completed primarily in Procreate and Adobe After Effects.
art chantry
“Art Chantry” is a visual exploration of the works of the titular renowned graphic designer. The aesthetic function of the video aims to both present Chantry’s designs in an engaging and visually interesting manner, as well as emulate his process and style.
The project began with an initial concept presentation, followed by style framing and storyboarding to develop the visual style and tone of the overall video. Preliminary research on Chantry and his career was also crucial to gathering the most appropriate works and images to feature throughout. Many of those works were subsequently manipulated to become animations themselves.
first crack
“First Crack” is an educational short that was used to promote an event for the Atlanta Science Festival in 2023. ASF asked for motion graphics that showcased relevant and scientifically accurate fun facts and ran no longer than 30 seconds, as they would be used on social media and only had so much time to grab viewers’ attention.
I opted for a rubber-hose style animation explaining the concept of first crack in coffee roasting. This animation was used to promote a presentation on coffee roasting by Opo Coffee, a local cafe.
