For this project in an introductory Motion Graphics course, students recorded data about one day in their lives and used that as the basis for a data-driven short video.

Students learned techniques in After Effects such as putting type in a 3d space, using After Effects’ camera, and motion tracking, in addition to core skills like keyframing.

Alton Chaney’s video uses motion tracking to place typography and icons in his life as he goes about getting ready in the morning.
