Breathe Remix | Motion Graphics, Music
Breathe by Telepopmusik is one of my favorite songs. After procuring the studio acapella I decided to remix it using Ableton Live Suite and created a video about a starship using After Effects with a gentle sprinkling of Trapcode Particular and Magic Bullet Looks.
Moodboard
I was inspired by space art from the mid-century and wanted to recreate the sense of adventure and discovery these conveyed.
The simple shapes but textured backgrounds pioneered my ideation
Storyboard
As I moved around the world often as a child I had trouble finding my identity, but I eventually I realized that it isn’t a place or a people who should define you, instead you make the best of your own surroundings and find identity in yourself. I sketched up a story about a colony ship that would scour the distant stars looking for a colonizable world.
Style Frames
I developed a few rough style frames that would establish the base design language I would pursue in the final product, along with basic descriptions of movement and transitions.
The text will slowly drift along with the points, which stop moving then transition into stars.
Derivatives of this ‘hyperspace’/’warp’ sequence will be repeated throughout.
The text will drift in independent of the orbital velocities of each planetary body. The rectangle represents the starship and the camera will follow it as it warps.
Another sequence of which there will be derivatives of; the scale and details will vary scene-to-scene.
This is the final scene where the ship find a suitable habitat and launches its pods.
