TASK: Create an animation that visualizes recorded information using geometric shapes, patterns, colors, and movement.
Practicing my hand at a vector/infographic style and being recently inspired by Christopher Nolan’s movie Interstellar, I decided to focus on the idea of time dilation—a concept in which time slows down for objects moving at very high speeds, especially near the speed of light.
This piece aims to inform viewers about time dilation and Einstein’s theory of relativity. Preproduction spanned multiple weeks and included mood-boarding, conceptualization, and asset creation in Illustrator and Photoshop. Animation mainly taking place in After Effects.

Direction, Design, Animation by Ethan Jaffe
Starting with mood-boarding, I wanted to break down these complex ideas as simply as I could. The design process involved a lot of trial and error, but the end result was something I felt very proud of.
Stylistically, I found myself inspired by classic tricks and flashy design. I emphasized some famous magic tricks within the cards, and assets pertaining to the event itself. I then created the color scheme based upon on the website's offical branding.
