/// The development phase involved an analysis of the song’s lyrics, tone, and rhythm. I aimed to identify key motifs and emotional peaks that could be visually represented. This led to the creation of a storyboard and style frames that outlined the sequence of animations, transitions, and visual metaphors.
For the production, I used Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator to craft the visual elements. The process included:
Designing Elements: Developing abstract and symbolic imagery that aligns with the song’s themes and lyrics, such as visuals to represent grief and fluid transitions to represent the flow of emotions.
Animation: Synchronizing animations with the song’s beats and lyrical flow, using techniques like match cuts and dynamic motion.
Color Palette: Choosing a semi-muted and limited color palette with bright highlights and gradients to emphasize the contrast between grief and hope.
