Time Alone With You

Time Alone With You

After graduating from a three-year technical course in music, I wanted to pay homage to one of my earliest After Effects projects: a kinetic type video.
Inspired by my love for Jacob Collier's music, I decided to create a new video, exploring lower frame rates instead of my usual 60fps.

Storyboards

I began by listening to the song, identifying different elements, instruments, and drum hits to guide my animation. After gathering my ideas, I storyboarded the selected section of the song, planning each frame with care.

Timing and Animating

With the storyboard complete, I jumped into After Effects. I started by animating all the text, ensuring that every movement was perfectly timed to the music. As I added other elements, I continued to focus on synchronization, making the animation dynamic and engaging.

Finishing Touches

To give the animation a unique touch, I applied an adjustment layer with effects to roughen the edges, creating a hand-drawn feel. These finishing touches, including adding grain and distortion, enhanced the overall aesthetic. The final video, showcasing my growth and technical skills, was then uploaded to YouTube.
