Layout sketch:

I began laying out my idea fr the animation line up, to see how it will be before i start animating it. I chose a simple format and composition so it wont be to messy. The aim is to be more direct in this animation infographics.

Fig 1.1: Layout sketch

Illustrated elements:

All of these elements was illustrated earlier from the Project 1 instructable poster. i had to create a few extra elements to add in the animation.

Animation Progress:

I wanted to create a simple animation and more of information base type of video for this recipe. i applied all the elements from the Project 1 and added a touch of Italian BGM.It was quite challenging to make them in sync but gladly i managed.

After placing the elements and editing the way i wanted, I proceed to add in the sound effects and BGM.

Source of sound effects & BGM:

For the background music i initially chose a basic cuteBGM but then i realise that it was a requirement to add elements of the recipe or Pasta grannies aestethic. So i decided to find an Italian ambience BGM instead. This music choice was more suitable in my opinion and i was happy with it.

Reflection

This project was an interesting assignment for me. It is a continuation from the Project 1 instructable poster. At first there was a lot of indecisiveness in picking which composition fits best and eventually i got it.However, i have learned more day by day by using the after Effect software. This module has expose me to the better understanding of the importance of visuals n informations together as one.Lastly, i am really looking forward to seek more exercises and tasks to be much better.
