Motion Graphics
Animated Painting
Project Type: Motion Graphics, Adobe AfterEffects
Date: March 2023
During my junior year of college, we just learned how to put Photoshop files into an AfterEffects composition. I picked out a painting by Caspar David Friedrich called "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog." I knew I wanted to play around with the fog effect in this project and play with the physics with the cape and hair on the subject, so working on this was fun and challenging at the same time.
Animated Text Exercise
Project Type: Motion Graphics, Adobe AfterEffects
Date: April 2023
When I was animating this project, I was listening to Billie Eilish's "Listen Before I Go" on YouTube. I noticed that in the video, they had a video of a moon hovering over the neighborhood, and it made me want to make an animated text video with the moon in the background!
Kinetic Typography: "Kill for Me"
Project Type: Motion Graphics, Adobe AfterEffects
Date: May 2023
I wanted to make a very short lyric video based on the song I was listening to at the time called "Kill for Me" by Aáyanna. I knew I wanted to play with the sound cues that were in the song, like the gunshots, and add some graphics into the video, like the poop emoji and blood splatter that were on the walls.

The Heat?"

D.A.D. (Den After Dark) is a weekly event in which, every Friday, the University of Saint Francis' S.A.C. club (Student Activities Council) does some type of activity for the students of Saint Francis. They were doing an event called "Can You Handle the Heat," based on the YouTube video series "Hot Ones." For my internship project, I wanted to make something fun and humorous for the Saint Francis TikTok and Instagram pages, and I came up with this!
