Create a thirty second animation using the 7x20 exercise.
Process:
The 7x20 exercise is a list of seven subjects and twenty words; at least on word/phrase from each category is selected and must be said or presented within the animation. My words/phrases were: Covid-19, mask, social-distancing, avoid physical contact with strangers, Pokémon cards, Bionicles, beanie babies, air, gray, social situations, and Vermont. The process began with writing a script using all the words, then storyboarding visuals based on the script. Next, a recording was made of myself reciting the script. Illustrations were done in photoshop, then exported into After Effects for the animation portion. A rough edited involved syncing the animation to the voice recording. In order to have full immersion through out the video, I decided to create my own folly sounds and white noise to layer the audio. Final consisted of syncing folly sounds and mixing audio to make sure the soundscape was natural and smooth for the viewer’s experience.
