Hall of Fame Animation

life to the images.
Abstract Animation
FEB. 2021
This abstract animation was created as an exercise in using shapes and paintbrush strokes to move dynamically across the screen in sync with music.

The animation explores rhythm, motion, and color, aiming to enhance the enjoyment of both the visual and auditory elements.
Photo Animation (Stop Motion)

The goal was to craft a fun, engaging narrative that brought everyday objects and characters to life in a humorous and creative way.
