About this project

I edited (and animated) this video about the nature of the universe. I illustrated the characters Goofy, Gaffy, and Sun using Figma. Then, I used After Effects plugins Rhubarb to create the lip-sync and SF Caddy to animate the character expressions. I used basic scripts for the motions and looping animations.
Our team originally produced the backgrounds, scripts, and voiceovers. However, I used a few sound effects and stock footage from Pixabay. Our outro music was also created using Suno AI. I personally dislike AI content, but this was genuinely fun to listen to. There you have it: a hypocrite, self-proclaimed artist.
It took me around 20 hours to produce this (animation to editing). P.S. Excuse all the insider jokes :>

Other stuff I did

denoised (I did my best, I swear!) the voice recordings
created an editing pipeline where any changes I make to the character designs get pushed to the video in real-time. Basically, I just set up a Figma design system and organized my folders. It's nothing fancy, but it works well!

Special thanks to

Mic Tony, for writing the script
Kismet, for creating the intro scene and for the Sun voiceover
Mark, for the Goofy voiceover
Ann, for the Gaffy voiceover and for supporting me in the whole process
and to the other team members Kim, Ellaine, and Gio for lending their time and resources!
