The prompt of this project was to support the design and development of an animation by conducting research, gathering data, and utilizing them effectively. I decided to depict a surreal exploration of life through the lens of psychedelia using motion graphics. The goal was to depict life from a unique perspective, showcasing the potential insights that can be gained through the study of psychedelics.

Research

I used my findings and research to aid the design and development of an animation on psychedelics and how its use alters the perspective on life.

Inspiration and style

My inspiration and style were heavily influenced by the vibrant colors and mesmerizing geometric patterns commonly associated with psychedelics, while also incorporating elements of a bright pastel outlook into my work.

Takeaways

Overall, I learned a lot through the study of psychedelics and found it to be fascinating. I believe I successfully conveyed the portrayal of a "psychedelic journey" through my animation. However, I faced challenges in certain aspects of my animation, and there were rough spots where things didn't flow smoothly. I am determined to enhance my motion graphic skills to achieve more seamless animations in the future.
