Final Project - Self-titled
We are instructed to create a self-titled which is about ourselves and animate it into 15 seconds video. The self-titled size is 1080x1920 px which is same as IG reel and story size.
INTRO | Tell us about yourself I am a ambivert person. I am also a person who is easy to be happy and sad. I have a lot of self-distrust, but I will try hard and pretend to be confident until really succeed. I think my innermost being is perceptual, but I will judge and execute things rationally when looking at things and solving them. |
PARAGRAPH 1 | What is your passion? I like to design many things with different themes and things related to fashion and trends. I also like to travelling with friends or family, it is very interesting and wonderful thing to enjoy the beautiful scenery and share happiness with my dear ones. |
PARAGRAPH 2 | What’s motivate you to achieve your dream? Being able to finish a work that I am satisfied with and liked by others is the motivating force for me to strive for progress and innovation. Otherwise, travelling is a good way to broaden my horizons and cognition, which can stimulate a lot of imagination and creativity. |
SUMMARY | How do you want to visualize your dream into an artwork? I hope everyone can see the unique temperament in my works. Even if someone doesn’t understand me, it won’t prevent me from being cheerful and confident. |
Statement about my work
INTRO | Tell us about your work I would like to make a colourful and futuristic self-titled portrait. In addition to bright and lively colors, the artwork also have metaphors hidden behind the scenes waiting for audience to find out. |
PARAGRAPH 1 | What is the concept behind it? I am who am I. I am my own style and personality, and every perspective with different emotions is the real me without exception. |
PARAGRAPH 2 | What is the message you want people to understand it? Everyone ‘s personality is unique and precious. God gives us the ability to feel is to let us feel love and pain, after that live out a way of our own. To live for myself, life is sweet and beautiful because of the sour contrast. |
SUMMARY | What is your motto/ quote?
Be yourself, don't care what other people think. |
Sketches
Fig 1. Sketch #1
The first sketch is something like me on fire. This idea was to present that most of the time our emotion will be very nervous and pain in that situation as we can't control it and same with the characteristic of fire. We can't touch or approach it. It is uncontrollable and we will easy to get hurt as we are not their enemies.
Fig 2. Sketch #2
Fig 3. Digital poster #1
The second digital poster was really beyond my expectation. There is story and metaphor behind the big head, you can see the pink-purple flame burning inside, and the butterfly flying out after the fire bath, which means that no matter how hard it is, even if you are desperate and afraid, you can face each other like a butterfly reborn from the fire bath, still love flying and freedom, and still feel that the outside world is beautiful. I put myself in the middle of the sea, because I think it is a peaceful and powerful place. He can be gentle or powerful. At the back of the picture, there is a hill made of cream, decorated with cherries, just like a dessert. Metaphor: I hope my living environment and thoughts are sweet and pleasant.
Fig 5. Modification of poster
Make the wings of the butterfly into two shots, one is waving up and the other is waving down. In the same shot, one of the left and right wings must be positive and the other negative, but the size of the numbers (75) should be the same. The second shot needs to be reversed. Wings that were originally positive numbers should be expressed by negative numbers. On the contrary, wings that were originally negative numbers should be expressed by positive numbers, but the size of numbers (80) should be the same.
I set the command of LoopOut("pingpong") to let butterflies keep repeating flapping their wings.
The boat stay the same position from beginning until the end. I think moving it front and back maybe will be more lively.

Feedback
Week 13 : The boat can move forward and backward. Head colour have to adjust.
Reflection
This is a very interesting project, and it is also my first contact with AE and PR. I think it's very funny and novel. There are too many functions and special effects to be discovered. Moreover, the process from draft to digital poster is also great. When I finished digital poster, I also had a sense of satisfaction. In addition, with the poster moving, sound effects and music scores, the whole static thing instantly came to life, which was amazing and satisfying. This is a great attempt and exploration, not only exploring my own inner, but also learning how to use more applications to make my works more complete and vivid.
