Description

"Vote" is a 2D animation that tells the story of an individual who, deeply moved by distressing news, decides to take action. With carefully crafted character illustrations and animation, the project aims to inspire viewers to recognize the importance of their own voice and encourages them to participate in creating positive change through casting their vote.

With just about three weeks on my hands, I took on the challenge of creating "Vote" from scratch. From giving life to the 2D characters to adding those finishing touches with sound design, it was a whirlwind journey. I started by sketching out the storyboards, and then I dived into exploring various character designs using Adobe Illustrator. Organizing every shape on separate layers was key to making the magic happen in Adobe After Effects. Some scenes needed some good old-fashioned frame-by-frame animation, like that one where the main character checks himself out in the mirror.
