Motion graphic: Made it!!

Year: 2023
Role: Animator
A loop animation for the amazing New Yorker cover illustration by Christoph Niemann. The task for this project is to choose a random keyword and bring an illustration to life with a hint of the vibe of the keyword. My keyword is ‘itchy’.




As animators might be strongly aware, time is relative. As 10 seconds in life might be no time, animating 10 seconds for animators can take ages. (I think this is also where the itch comes from, that we are fighting restlessness with our patience, haha) To convey this idea, I created a ‘countdown video’ of the journey of the tennis ball. As the ball travels, we see in the background an entire human history flashes by. 

I used a bit of fluffy textured in my visuals, I think it has an itchy vibe. And I use the fast rhythm and the drum sound to intensify the scene and to express an unsettling feeling, showing the concept of ‘Itch.’
