The final project was definitely the most challenging for me. I didn’t have any prior experience with After Effects, so I was certainly going to have to put the time in to make this animation. Despite the animation only being ten seconds long, it still took a long time to complete, showing me just how difficult animating something can be. The main idea I had for the project was for the pineapple to continuously rise from the ground. Of course this would start with the crown sprouting up first, followed by the body. I wasn’t sure where to go from there at first but then decided it could be a fun idea to have the pineapple shoot high up into the sky and spin while falling back to the ground. In terms of sound, I used a “pop” sound effect when the different parts of the pineapple came out of the ground. The hardest element to determine the sound for was the different parts of the body coming out of the ground. I ultimately went with a crunching leaves as I felt it sort of reminded me of something trying to rustle its way out of the ground. Overall, I enjoyed this project as it allowed me to learn something new and challenged me in new ways in design.
