For this project, I volunteered as director. We were given a podcast, and each student was to animate certain portions of the podcast. To begin, I reorganized the audio in a way that would make more sense to the viewers. My goal was to provide clear direction for the animation and to make it flow better as a whole. Throughout the semester, I made and continuously updated the animatic. The animatics allowed us to plan segments better for visual flow. I was also tasked with animating the title cards and updating the project website through the semester.
I wanted to do a special feature of my little sister, and her love of track and field. She worked harder than anyone; showing up to the gym to lift weights three times a week in the off season, and striving to beat her personal records every time she stepped on the field. It was her dedication that landed her the position of team captain. This is footage I captured myself of her during training.
The original intent of this video was to be an animation for the home page of the EPIC site. After some thought, I decided to focus on a more specific feature of the EPIC Site, one that I had worked with previously with the Aim At Houdini project. I interviewed Marcel Price AKA 'Fable the Poet' about the Diatribe and their mission. I edited together pre-existing video of the Diatribe.
