Been a while since I’ve updated my blog but there’s been a really big project I’ve been working on since January that I’m excited to talk about!
MSAI Logo and Animation
I was tasked with taking on the MSAI logo creation and animation this month and it actually went in a different direction than I was expecting. Here’s the logo that was finalized.
The animation actually had to go through some iterations. Here was the original concept.
After showing to the PM, we realized that it came across as plants growing from the brain rather than the nodes being stimulated by the brain. After a meeting to discuss a new direction for the animation, here’s what we came up with.
This was actually not only a preferred animation from the client, but it was also a pretty simple animation to complete which I’m really happy about.
DELL IPE Online Course Creation
This project has been quite fun to work on as it emphasizes my focus, character animation!
I’ve been working with Shanda to make animation for Dell’s IPE Online Course where they’ve requested for us to animate specific lecture slides for them. These are essentially medical scenarios they would like animated. This project will most likley last a couple months as they’ve requested 6 animations that span to be 5 – 8 minutes so right now I’ve been focusing on making reusable animation assets that can make our project pipeline faster.
Shanda is the Illustrator on the project and has done wonderful work to make the characters! Here’s the lineup.
With all these characters, here’s some of the animations I made beforehand to prep for the slides.
Since then, I’ve been making an After Effects template that can be used as a master file for all the animations needed.
Those are my main updates for now. Next I wanna finish up the animations assets and make a project tracking sheet for this project for the whole semester.
