DESIGN NAME: Capture The Moment
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Animation
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this project is the beauty of "timing" when taking photographs. This story was based on my past experience working as a photographer where I would wait for several hours for the perfect natural lighting. I believe that a perfect picture wouldn't exist without a perfect moment. "A second would make a big difference!"
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Capture the Moment is a very special project because it took me around four months to create it. It is very detail-oriented because each frame per second has different shapes and elements moving and morphing slowly into different shapes, creating different objects. The video is entirely a cell animation made in Adobe Photoshop. This project was also created purely based on my past experience as a photographer without any external references/inspiration.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This project is a short movie. End user will be able to enjoy this animation without having to interact with anything.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2017 in New York and finished in February 2018 in New York, and was exhibited in a screening at SVA Theatre located at 333 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10011.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Movie, Video and Animation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Firstly, I designed style frames using Adobe Illustrator. Secondly, I animated it frame by frame using the timeline feature in Adobe Photoshop. Lastly, I moved to Adobe After Effects to compile, make adjustments, and finalize the design.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 1920 x 1080 px in .mp4 format

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The most challenging part of this project is in the detail of the aesthetics. My goal is to create a natural, organic fluid movement as much as possible, and in order to create that, I decided to do it with cell animation which takes much more time. The second obstacle is to animate and design all the small elements in a frame to be uniform in the same time.
