This project centered around a certain period in art in which most of us were unfamiliar with. We studied some interesting Russian propaganda posters and dissected their colors and messages. After this, we were told to animate one of our own, and to try and encapsulate the mood of the time.

This was the first time I was exposed to keyframes in After Effects which was extremely hard in the beginning. Even more difficult was the fact that I had never used Photoshop before, so basic knowledge of separating layers and importing them to After Effects was a challenge.

Animating each layer was a nightmare. For such a seemingly simple outcome, this project was labored over. It taught me a lot about the finnicky nature of animation as well as a lot about patience.
