Final Animation with sound

I am officially done!!!

Using premier pro

I have to say, using premier pro is definitely not my type of app.

I kept encountering problems which hindered my workflow but ultimately I managed to pull through.

Final Animation without sound

Making small changes in the animation

Ive decided on remove the closeup shot of the feet. This is mainly due to the fact that I thought Sebastian wouldn't incorporate many closeups in his animations.

I also decided to make a small piece swirl around Sebastian during the beginning. This was to drag out the duration of the animation.

Selecting fonts

I wanted to go for a font that had a retro vibe therefore I decided to browse some websites.

Here I found some fonts that I could use and I downloaded some of them.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Update- After adding them, they all looked a bit weird therefore I plan on drawing the font on.

Feedback

I was told the composition of the disc was not in the middle therefore I put the disc in the middle utilizing the rule of thirds.

Finalized scene 6-8

I.... my screen recording stopped working and I tried screenrecording by transferring the file to another one of my computers but it ended up really laggy so i decided on just filming with my phone.

Colours I will be using in the animation

I was inspired by 70s color palettes as Sebastian has said that he uses 70s visuals and sounds

Taking main inspo from this

Final Finalized storyboard and explanation

After feedback I was told this was not drafted properly therefore I prioritized putting the storyboard into a proper format.

Scene 1-5: Sebastian's animations typically involve a lot of character movement, and I wanted to use that and reverse it by making him sit still in one place to signify how he has not started on his animation journey yet.

Scene 6-8: I noticed that Sebastian uses a lot of character falling down montages including the spiral background therefore I incorporated that into my animation. Along with that, since this was the beginning of his journey it would make sense for some sort of character movement

Scene 9-10: Similarly to before, he uses a lot of transitional scenes and he had used something similar in his transitions.

Scene 11: Everfresh is the name of the brand that he creates therefore I decided to showcase that.

Scene 12-13: The logo splits in half and he falls from it, this does not have any significance other than how he uses movement.

Scene 14-15: The scene cuts to Sebastian diving down to the bottom of the screen and forming into a pile of vinyls, the diving being a reference to his fluid animations and the pile on vinyls indicating the type of work he did early on in his life which was making record covers in the music industry

Scene 16: Closeup of the vinyl occurs

Scene 17-20: There's another camera cut as he walks on top of the vinyl and it moves, indicating how he starts animating.

Update on scene 21- I decided not to loop it back to the beginning due to the format of the rest of the animation with having to show end credits and name and etc
