To push the project further, we both wanted to develop an animation to act as a ‘teaser trailer’ for the project.

The idea for this animation was that it would be uploaded to a YouTube channel and shared across the Planets of Change social media pages (e.g. Facebook and Twitter)

Animation Development

As the animation was only to be acting as a ‘teaser’ for the project, we wanted it to be kept short and sweet, detailing the main graphical elements of the project and displaying the projects name.

As Alex was busy working on the final details of the website, I set to work on the animation itself.

From pulling the assets used for the websites creation, I worked on the basic run through of the animation, keeping it within a 1 minute timeframe.

The following music was added to the animation:

The animation was tweaked slightly in order to fit with the music.

After this was done the exported animation was coded into the website to test it worked.

However…

We then realised that because the website was now live, we could not have the copyrighted music (which we do not own) within the live version of the website.

So from this we set to work searching for some copyright free music to fit with the animation.

After a long period of searching, the right soundtrack was found and was worked into the final animation.
