My Scene Music Video

Animation Assets, Layout

"My Scene" was an animated music video project created as part of a university assignment. This project taught me some important lessons:

  1. Be very choosy with the people you work with
  2. Time is never your friend
  3. Don't try to animate 50+ layers in Photoshop. It will only end in pain

My task within the group was to create the background images and animation for the music video. I also came up with the final concept and provided my own original music for the video. Because our group ended up running with my concept, I was thrust into the position of project manager. Needless to say, I was not prepared.

In the end we wasted a lot of time trying to make bad concepts work. Then we forfeited our sleeping hours to get that time back. I was able to give my deliverables and I'm quite proud of what I was able to accomplish (considering I'd never worked in animation before). Unfortunately we weren't able to finish the entire project. This still makes me a bit sad.
