Concept

This project presents an emotional process that a person may experience from childhood to adult and eventually become mature, which also include my expectations for myself, to treat the world calmly but still have enthusiasm.

Brief Introduction

The process of growing up starts with the birth of children. And as children, people are mostly innocent and always curious to the world. When people grow up they might experience a good feeling to someone but also encounter obstacles. When they finally overcome the obstacles and deal with their feelings, they have grown up. But most of the time as I observed, the worst thing is to become a boring adult so I hope I can still be enthusiastic to the world and explore more.

Design

Brainstorm

Sound

According different phase of growth, I chose corresponding music. Though the animation is done before the music being chosen, they still matches and the some animation is on beat.

Process

To save time, I used simple graphics to go through the motions first. Then, I output it as video and open in Photoshop to create frame sequence in order to put it to procreate and trace it over with specific brushes. When tracing, I added some compression and tension manually to make it more vivid.
