For my past few shifts, I worked on finishing up all of my training requirements. I’m happy to say that I’ve completed all tiers of training. I learned a lot of valuable skills using several Adobe programs. I look forward to learning more skills and becoming more efficient in those programs.
The tier 3 training module required me to make a short intro animation for a class. I wanted to practice some simple transitions and focus on making them as smooth and aesthetically pleasing as possible. I went for a “start-up” style when the screen starts out black and reveals the graphics seconds later. In this storyboard, I planned to end the animation with a black screen, however after receiving feedback it was decided that it would be best not to.
I’m pleased with the results of the final. I enjoyed adding small details, such as a brief and subtle blur when the text is revealed, much like a camera focusing in on a subject.
Here are some other smaller projects I worked on. I changed the backgrounds, colors, text, and some minor imagery.
Now that I’ve completed the required training, it’s time for me to work on a bigger project. I’ve been tasked with creating the 2026 Fall Voting PSA animations that will advertise and inform early voting, registering to vote, and election day to students and faculty. We’re in the early phase of this project, so there isn’t much to do except make some rough storyboards and assets. I’ll show some progress of what I’ve done so far in my next blog. Thanks for reading.
