Matt and I decided long ago that we wanted to enter the 7th annual film festival held at Art Institute of Schaumburg called Artimation. Our goal was to make a stand that the Graphic Design majors could very well enter and compete in a very video & animation filled world.
That said, we decided to do a typographical motion graphic piece to one of The Hush Sound's songs. We love the band, we love typography, we love design, and we love motion graphics. Heavily inspired by motion graphics studio MK12, we decided to try our shot at it.
Keep in mind that this was our first ever After Effects project. We taught ourselves the application just to get a submission in. Four+ days straight went into this bad boy, with necessary 5:00am McDonald's Breakfast stops.
In the end, we missed our deadline by several hours. To top it off, it's NOWHERE NEAR as polished off and finished as we want it to be.
We plan on finishing this for sure. Next year, Artimation 8 will be our bitch. For now, enjoy this project. I was late to work, and we didn't get any sleep because of it, haha!
** Special thanks to Darren Wilson for giving us permission to do this project in the first place. All the sweat and tears put in this was for you guys. **
