After we finished the first draft, we showed it to Sir for review. He said that the text could have a longer pause time and that we could add some small sound effects.

FEEDBACK

Week 7

Sir said the animation was good, but the text moved too fast and the audience might not have enough time to read it clearly and including some simple sound effects to make the video clearer and more engaging.

REFLECTIONS

Experience

In this final project, I worked with my partner, Lou YuHan, to create a 60-second animated infographic video based on my Project 1 instructable infographic poster about how to make cheese egg dumplings. We first discussed the direction of the video and decided to use my previous infographic as the main visual foundation. Then, we developed the script, storyboard, and animatic to plan the sequence and flow of the animation. After that, we moved on to digitalizing and arranging the visual elements into motion. When we completed the first draft, we showed it to Sir for feedback and made revisions before finalizing the video.

Observations

During this project, I noticed that turning a static infographic into a moving video requires more attention to timing and pacing. Unlike a poster, an animated infographic needs viewers to have enough time to read and understand the information before the next scene appears. I also observed that small details, such as pause duration and sound effects, can greatly affect the clarity and overall viewing experience. Working with a partner also made the process more efficient because we could share ideas and improve the animation together.

Findings

Through this project, I learned that animated infographic design is not only about moving visuals, but also about making sure the information remains clear and easy to follow. I found that good timing, readable text, and suitable audio details are important for effective communication in motion graphics. This project also helped me improve my understanding of how to adapt a static design into a dynamic format while keeping the content educational and visually engaging.
