2D Animation

My animation entry for the RSA student design awards brief 9 'Moving Pictures. The audio does not belong to me and was a part of the brief for this project. It's Dr. Vivek Murthy's 'Act Together' speech at an RSA event. It can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLy6qMhbZKE

My final project 'Escape' is made to highlight our use of escapism to ignore contemporary problems such as climate change and the extinction of species due to our negative impact of the environment. It takes inspiration from the phrase "Ignorance is bliss" as we follow a girl who uses her imagination to create an Ideal world for herself. This frame by frame animation is made with a commination of Clip Studio Paint and Adobe After Effects. I don't own any of the Sound effects or music. The music belongs to Uppbeat. https://uppbeat.io/t/bpmoore/the-world-is-as-you-are License code: AWURMFTVSQOYLDCP and https://uppbeat.io/t/cory-alstad/a-starless-night License code: HF45I40Z3XQW4UGT The sound effects are from Freesound.org
