Harvard | Public Value teaser

Animation
Project Overview
The public value teaser for Harvard is about making a difference. And also how difficult the process of that can be. From politics and divided communities; it's not an easy thing to do. The video is based on the book 'Creating Public Value' by Mark H. Moore.
My Contributions
This was a project that I've worked on in my time as an intern at Public Cinema. Together with lead animator 'Midhat' and medior animator 'Marije', we've tried to make a kick-ass video with new techniques. I was mainly doing the character rigging, animating some shots/assets and a few character animations.

The Process
Anjay Korpelshoek
Junior Animator
This project was really interesting actually. It was something new for me, because I haven't done a lot of character rigging nor animating-skills at the time. We've also worked with a new freelancer for this project only. Midhat and I were the main persons to work on the video. Together we've done most of the animation work. Midhat also did some Frame-By-Frame (F-B-F) work in this video.

Besides the rigging and animating the characters, I haven't done a lot of motion graphics either at the time. While still learning to be better and faster, I also tried to invent some new techniques to achieve a certain goal. Like using a bounce-motion to make a cut from 2 seperate comps (which I'd like to call 'A Bounce-Cut'). I also used rubberhose in the other animation video to make a constant connection between 3 circles in the 3D space.

In short: I've had a lot of fun with the project and learned a lot of new things while working to the deadline.
