Practical

This week was about deciding what I wanted the animation to feel like, not just look like. I wanted to explore how culture can be visualized in motion. 

I already had a strong visual concept in mind: the central figure surrounded by traditional patterns and decorative details, like a scene from a celebration slowly coming to life. I wanted the patterns to move, not all at once, but individually, each sliding gently left, right, up, and down, almost like they're dancing around the character. Not in a big, dramatic way, but soft, playful, and rhythmic. I imagine them behaving like floating decorations in the wind.

This week was mostly about planning and looking for inspiration. Next week, I'll start bringing the pieces together for After Effects.
