/// I aimed to capture the emotional intensity and rawness of "Leni" through a series of abstract visuals and symbolic imagery. The storyboard was crafted to map out the animation, highlighting key moments of introspection and emotional peaks.
I utilized Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator to bring the visuals to life. This included:
Designing Elements: Creating abstract visuals that represent the fluidity of identity and the often chaotic nature of mental health struggles. This included fragmented shapes and morphing figures/characters.
Animation: Developing fluid animations that mirror the song’s rhythm. Techniques like glitch effects and seamless transitions were used to convey a sense of constant transformation.
Color Palette: Using a dark and moody color palette with occasional bursts of color to symbolize moments of clarity and self-realization.
