The prompt for this assignment was to create a short story, and there were no other guidelines other than a time minimum. With a simple story board and based off of a sketch of a character I made. I wanted to create a frame by frame animation introducing the character of a girl who was cursed.
I wanted to create a false 3D environment in After Effects using different layers as walls of the room, and having the camera move in space to create the three dimensionality of the room, as a sketch in the right upper corner illustrates.
The piece is multimedia and has photography added in. I wanted to create the effect of something jarring and out of place, while also having tactile texture.
This is the character the animation is based on and a frame from the animation. It is transparent as I wanted the color of the character to be in the atmosphere of the scene
The walls were altered in After Effects and were pictures of carpet and other things around my house that had an interesting pattern. I used pictures of a frame I had and curtains. The picture on the bottom left is an abstracted mix of multiple pictures I had taken that had interesting textures.
