Poetry Introduction was created as an introductory video to a poetry online course. The animation aimed at being a visual representation of poetry, therefore transforming verbal images and figures of speech into visuals and movements.
The development of the project started from a sketched animatic provided by the client, which then needed to be given a consistent visual identity.
In the style frames stage, a couple of visual directions where explored before choosing a softer-colored style that implemented the use of grains and blurs.
The main challenge that was faced in the making of the animation was fine-tuning each transition so that even dramatically different scenes could naturally flow one into the next, in a smooth journey through the poetic words of the voice over.
The animations needed to match the softness and the relaxed paced of the voice, following its changes in intensity and dynamic that enhance the poetry of the words.
