A deeply personal 60-90 second film about who you are as a creator. Stop following tutorials and start following your own creative compass.
Midterm: Due Sunday, October 25 • Finals: Due Sunday, December 20
Over the last year, you've been through the grind -- Intro, Intermediate, and Advanced Motion Design. Somewhere in that technical noise, it's easy to lose sight of why you started this journey. This project is about finding your way back to YOU. Don't design what you think I want to see. Design what you've been waiting to create all year.
This project is deeply personal. Two tiers of sharing:
Written Manifesto (Private), Moodboards, Script. Find your "Visual Threads."
PureRef moodboarding, storyboard templates, scripting, and class critique session.
The Week 3 reality check. Lock your timing, define your scope, prove your look.
Heads down, hearts open. The mid-term production push. Post WIPs in Discord.
Secondary motion, VFX, color grading. Make it shine.
The 9 deliverables. Professional presentation and technical breakdown.
