Overview:
This project showcases a 10-second motion design animation I created during the course. The goal was to demonstrate my ability to take a concept from initial sketches to a fully animated piece while maintaining a playful tone suited for a child audience.
Brief Solution:
The animation features a charming egg character performing a series of sports: golf, basketball, and soccer. The sequence builds up to the punchline: “An egg-cellent athlete.”
I used Adobe Illustrator for the character design, Photoshop to organize assets, and After Effects for animation. The result combines bright visuals, smooth movements, and upbeat music to engage and entertain.

Reflection Paragraph:
This project taught me how to take a simple, playful concept and develop it into a polished animation. I improved my skills in storyboarding, character design, and After Effects animation. The process emphasized the importance of timing, movement, and attention to detail, especially for engaging younger audiences.
Reflecting on the challenges, I learned to prioritize the most impactful elements of a project within a tight timeframe, a valuable lesson for any creative field.
