PlayStation explainer video
Video Explainer
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects
Overview
For this project, the main goal here was to explain the evolution of Sony’s hit console the PlayStation throughout its history. To do this, graphics through the use of motion design are needed to convey this message more effectively than just a simple lecture. This video’s main purpose is to give viewers a simple quick video of how the PlayStation went from an under-the-radar console to one of the biggest consoles in the entire world.
Rough sketches were important to the process as these are the fundamental building blocks of a successful animation. Through careful thought process these sketches made the process of animating much easier and made everything much simpler overall. These were the templates that were then later used for the
Rough Sketches
Enhanced Sketches
From here the enhanced sketches show a more final product of the initial sketches. Through Illustrator some of these were enhanced focusing on perspectives as well as cleaning up line work. These would then be transferred into after effects for final animation
Digital Storyboards
Storyboarding is another building block that makes animation more refined and gives a plan of action. These steps articulate not only what is going on and what plans to happen next but also keep the work neat for others to follow. Storyboarding as a process gives a clear and concise prompt to follow overall.
