TITLE: Future Awakening


ARTIST STATEMENT: 

The screens of the two devices light up, and a "mechanical flower spirit" wearing a black cape and a reflective helmet slowly emerges. Bright pink flowers bloom on his helmet, symbolizing the integration of technology and nature, suggesting that creativity blooms in the intelligent world. The overall atmosphere is mysterious and futuristic. The screen finally presents a complete device interface - behind the mechanical flower spirit is a neon city. The transparent UI interface displays the date, time and power, and the future city extends into the distance in the picture. Technology is no longer cold, but full of warmth and aesthetics, becoming a window to dreams.

Reflection:

This project was developed based on my previous poster design. The goal was to bring static visual elements to life and create a dynamic poster with a sense of rhythm. Although I have been exposed to Adobe After Effects, this time I tried to use the timeline function in Photoshop for animation, and thus came into contact with some practical plug-ins and techniques.

At the beginning of the project, I thought that animation was simply "making the image move", but the actual operation made me realize that the movement trajectory, rhythm and connection of each element need to be carefully planned. The most challenging thing is to find a balance point through repeated attempts and modifications, and sometimes even have to give up the half-finished effect and start over.

Although there are still many details that can be improved in the final product, as my first attempt at dynamic design, it opened up a new creative perspective for me. This process not only trained my patience and execution, but also made me pay more attention to the visual tension between "movement and stillness". I believe that with the accumulation of experience, I will be able to create more mature and expressive works.
