About the Project
As a final project for my Motion Graphics course, we were asked to create a title sequence for a favourite or fictional TV series or film. I chose to visualise my favourite audio podcast, Let’s Not Meet. This project began as an experiment in translating an audio experience into a visual one, imagining the podcast as an illustrated Netflix-style series. Rather than focusing on dialogue or literal action, I aimed to capture the tension and unease of the storytelling through atmosphere alone. I illustrated each scene in Procreate, refined them in Photoshop, and brought them into After Effects, where the challenge became making still images feel alive without over-animating them. Through careful use of layered compositions, lighting, texture, shadows, and slow, controlled movement, I built suspense in a subtle and cinematic way. The project pushed me to merge illustration, motion design, and narrative thinking into one cohesive workflow, while also using AI-assisted expressions to solve technical challenges and achieve more precise animation. Ultimately, the piece explores how fear and intimacy can be translated from sound into a restrained but immersive visual language. As this was my first experiment with Adobe After Effects, I am continuing to refine and improve minor details within the project as I further develop my technical skills.
