The animation I have gathered above was shown as an example in our last lesson so that we could get a feel for what we would be doing in this particular workshop. The animation demonstrates how information can be conveyed to an audience by using simple techniques and graphic language which looks complex and beautiful. Even though the animation is promoting a more serious matter the way it is displayed makes it look nonchalant and smooth. In our last After effects workshop we were asked to look at other infographics that we found interesting to find out what type and stye of infographics we liked the most. After looking at some infographic styles I fell onto the conclusion that I like simple minimalist looking infographics which looked crisp, smooth and professional. Below are the examples of the infographics I chose to inspire me in this particular workshop.
Here are the examples of the infographics I have chosen to inspire me. I love the minimalist style which makes the infographics look clean and professional, the colour schemes are very simple and work well together; the use of black and white may be a very straight forward scheme but in my opinion it adds to the design. The fact that there is a clear background makes the infographics stand out a lot more and doesn't take away from the information being displayed. I have also gathered some information and stats which I can use in this style of infographic.
We were asked to produce some stats and figures that follow a short story or fairy tale. I created 3 documents in all, a title page, stats page and a wipe which would create a transition between the two other scenes. I used stats and figures and also added some info graphical objects such as a small pie chart and a bar chart which I decided I wanted to animate. Once we had made our simple scenes we moved onto After effects where we began to animate our scenes.
We use simple techniques and animations to create this piece such as the position tool, rotate tool and so on. We created a main comp which we rendered from and 3 others which were the files we edited. I used typographic styles to display my information as I felt this was the strongest way I could present the information I had. I want to work back into this as I am not completely happy with the timing of each keyframe. Having said that I am happy with the outcome overall and the effect that I have managed to achieve from this workshop.
Animating with numbers in this tutorial has helped me in my collide animation project, I felt more confident animating statistics and facts after this workshop and has allowed me to create a more professional animation in a recent project.
