Psalms 34:4 Animation

During the Covid Pandemic shutdown I was sparked by a thought to begin reading the bible. However, instead of reading the whole bible, I decided to read certain scriptures and use my motion design skills to interpret those scriptures according to my understanding. I re-searched online to see if anyone else had animated bible scriptures online, and did not find any interesting animated bible scriptures. I decided to start a personal project where I created animations of scriptures. I experiment with different styles, stories, visual metaphors, and typography, in order to tell a story using my understanding of the message in the scripture.

I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

CONCEPT

I created from raw emotions. For this project, I focused on being authentic and desperate in my intentions for deliverance. To obtain such idea in the animation, I wrote out the scripture, and animated the action of writing out this scripture on a piece of paper. The motion of the animated type contrasts with the motion of the background, which is animated in a choppy feel. I animated it as such to give the animation a feeling of rawness, a feeling of being real authentic with the stop motion action of the brown background.
