Simmons College of Kentucky (Blender & Premier Pro)
This is an intro I created in inspiration of a local college. This project was a mostly experimental because I haven't done this type of thing in Blender before. I used Blender text modeling, camera key framing and scene manipulation to create the "Simmons College of Kentucky" title. I then took those 3d clips into Premier Pro and combined it with panning footage of the college and sound bits from their media.
TikTok Live Project
TikTok live has been in active since 2019. Although the web version has a Navigation hub for the live section of TikTok the mobile version doesn't. The purpose of this project was to create a hub of what I thought TikTok live would look like on a mobile device.
The first thing you see when you open TikTok is content so that is what I wanted the TikTok live to seem like.
Just as other streaming platforms tend to do I decided to make the content finding experience as interactive as possible. I have spent the most time creating this variable component prototype.
I wanted to start with a card stack animation so I learned a lot of variables. With a lot of trial and error I found that for what I wanted to achieve was possible with three animations.
I wanted to include motion ui in this project so I took to using the ease animation settings when creating the swipe feature for the cards. there are three cards in total with each have a swipe feature making them fade off. you can see this in the screen shot and video commercial.
The main things I wanted to showcase in the video was app design and web animations all of the rest was extra in addition to it. As stated in the video TikTok Live has not been given a navigation hub since its start in 2019. This can be troubling for users so as a side project I designed a concept on Figma of what I thought the TikTok live hub would like. Through this project I learned to make use of components and variables as well as motion design elements inside of Figma. I used Adobe After Effects to include the TikTok live footage.
