The Design

About Capture The Moment Cortometraje de animación

Capture the Moment es un cortometraje de animación sobre la importancia del momento oportuno en la fotografía. La película muestra formas individuales que se desplazan y se transforman lentamente en nuevas figuras, construyendo un momento perfecto. La obra es una animación tradicional, dibujada fotograma a fotograma para lograr un movimiento fluido y orgánico. Los fotogramas de estilo se diseñaron primero en Adobe Illustrator. Cada fotograma se animó después con la función de línea de tiempo de Adobe Photoshop. La composición, los ajustes y el acabado se realizaron en Adobe After Effects. El resultado es un vídeo de 1920 por 1080 píxeles, concebido para visualizarse sin ninguna interacción.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Capture the Moment is a very special project because it took me around four months to create it. It is very detail-oriented because each frame per second has different shapes and elements moving and morphing slowly into different shapes, creating different objects. The video is entirely a cell animation made in Adobe Photoshop. This project was also created purely based on my past experience as a photographer without any external references/inspiration.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1920 x 1080 px in .mp4 format
Tags: motion design, moment, camera, photography, capture, flash, cell animation, golden hour
Production Technology: Firstly, I designed style frames using Adobe Illustrator. Secondly, I animated it frame by frame using the timeline feature in Adobe Photoshop. Lastly, I moved to Adobe After Effects to compile, make adjustments, and finalize the design.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part of this project is in the detail of the aesthetics. My goal is to create a natural, organic fluid movement as much as possible, and in order to create that, I decided to do it with cell animation which takes much more time. The second obstacle is to animate and design all the small elements in a frame to be uniform in the same time.
Inspiration: The inspiration for this project is the beauty of "timing" when taking photographs. This story was based on my past experience working as a photographer where I would wait for several hours for the perfect natural lighting. I believe that a perfect picture wouldn't exist without a perfect moment. "A second would make a big difference!"
Project Duration: The project started in September 2017 in New York and finished in February 2018 in New York, and was exhibited in a screening at SVA Theatre located at 333 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10011.
Operation Flow: This project is a short movie. End user will be able to enjoy this animation without having to interact with anything.
