A looping animation that I made for Leeds Light Night which took place in early October. It is based on the theme Elements. The element that I chose is air, and this animation is about the process of breathing in and breathing out. It is a never-ending process, which makes me think that it is a good concept for a looping animation.
Why the swirls? We often overlook the most fundamental interaction between human and their surroundings, breathing. The swirls is a visual representation of this interaction which serves as a reminder that we cannot live without the element.
The animation is a combination of animation techniques including pixilation and hand-drawn with ink, with a little bit of editting on Photoshop before they are compiled together in After Effects. It is an experimental process, which is currently what I feel passionate about because it gives a kind of aesthetic that cannot be achieved by solely relying on one medium.
