DSL’S Demo Reel
This demo reel is an accumulation of all of the animation and motion graphics projects I’ve created in Motion Graphics 1 and 2, as well as personal work. We were required to create a front and back bumper by animating our logo and then showcasing a project’s best moments. All hand-drawn animations were done in Photoshop and all motion graphics projects including the bumper were done in After Effects, then all of the clips were compiled into Premiere Pro.

VISUAL MUSIC
With any instrumental audio of choice, I had to animate a one-minute video using any iconography or text. I decided to use the musical piece “Requiem: II. Dies Irae” by Giuseppe Verdi and have circles, squares, and triangles as my icons. The goal was to make this animation as dramatic as possible with the build-up present in the musical piece.
HALLOWEEN
By finding a style frame of choice, I had to extract key elements from that such as icons, typefaces, and colors to recreate the title sequence for Halloween (1978).
KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY
With any audio of choice, I had to animate a 30-second video using solely typography to visually communicate the music. I chose the song “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” produced by Metro Boomin, featuring Future and Chris Brown.
COLLAGE ANIMATION
With any audio of choice, I had to animate a 20-second video in a 1:1 aspect ratio using any kind of imagery to create a collage animation. It was also required to have at least 10 images moving.
