Multiverse Comic
This project was inspired by Meow Wolf's "Confessions of a Taver," The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. It's a poem/comic hybrid about my thoughts on the multiverse.
Reflection
For this project my role was everything. I made all of the visuals myself and animated them. I also wrote the text that goes along with the images. It is relevant to my career because I am interested in animation and it's an animated piece.
This project had a lot of successes. I am familiar with the software I used so I didn't struggle with the work. I think the color, imagery, and poetry are all beautiful. One improvement would be adding audio to match the video.
Throughout this project I learned about making comic strips. I researched the layouts of other people's comics and the fonts they use. I also got to practice my creative writing skills, which is not something I do often.
Before and After
added birds flying above the forest
colored all of the visual elements
added a fuzzy, glowing, caterpillar
the before version scrolls a lot faster because I had 3 minutes to present in class
too fast to read clearly or look at details
added ease in and out to the beginning an end so it holds on the start and end images
animated the caterpillar and flying bird at the end
