The video introduces what type of designer I am (media designer) and lists out my various employable skills. Since the video is my take of a “motion resume”, the sound track and the overall visual look is setup to match my personality. In this case, a happy and upbeat soundtrack is used to represent my positive attitude while the theme of geometric construction lines to represent my practical approach to design.
PROCESS

Although the final video deviated significantly from the storyboard, it was essential in figuring out what looks good in After Effects.
The first draft of the video. The footage was shot in the green screen room in less than ideal lighting. The attempt to compensate resulted in grainy footage and the draft ended becoming more of an experiment.
1. Animating every letter in the opening

3. Shot was focused on graphic composition

2. Focusing on my poses and skillset

4. Combining compositions to add transitions

5. Imported to Premiere to sync sounds and rendering
