So there comes a time in every (static) graphic designers life when he/she realizes that it’s time to move to something unknown and new. For me there were a plethora of things on the table. Street luge, giraffe hunting, baseball card collecting, hot dog eating contests, etc. However when I realized all of those would be complete wastes of time, I decided it was time for this boy to move into motion graphics.
I’ve had After Effects CS3 sitting in my applications folder and have never had a clue what to do with it once it was opened, thus inducing its immediately closing.
All that to say, this was my first dabble into motion graphics, and I have to say it was an adventure, yet I loved every moment of the learning process and the discovery that I was legitimately only scratching the surface of what this software was capable of. Though this was a bit of a daunting task to take on as a first project, 20+ hours of work later, here’s my result.
It’s narrated by Gary Rogers and it moves to the tunes of one of my favorite ambient bands Hammock.
Enjoy.
