Motion Graphics Artist Youth Empowering Parents Youth Empowering Parents (YEP) is a charitable organization that engages youth with the skills to tutor and educate adults. I had the opportunity to have an internship there as a motion designer.
This experience allowed me to learn the importance of collaborating with the creative director in problem-solving and idea exploration. The challenge was to produce a series of animated tutorials on how to use Google Search. YEP previously used digital comic strips to showcase their tutorials, and their goal was to engage the student further by using movement and sound.
The creative process involved producing storyboards to determine specific shots, as well as exploring many designs for the characters. The final video can be viewed at youtube.com/watch?v=lO0n06_JlSs.
