why persona
simply put, i have been obsessed with the persona franchise after playing persona 5 for the first time. yes, i know. i sound like such a bandwagon starting on p5 and riding it this hard. but the style of everything from its menus to combat mechanics introduced me to the world where game developers actually pay their ui designers bank. and i got into the series right before joker was announced for smash, so i was thrilled to see it expanding. dont know how to feel about joker being in fortnite though. the morgana shoes are so tacky and i cant be spending 20 every time they drop some licensed character so imma have to pass.
design process
i originally used an after effects template for the start of the animation, and was very inexperienced using after effects at the time. but after lots of patience, i was able to put my brand in there. and to take it a step further, i animated the film reel breaking effect you see at the end of the animation frame by frame in photoshop. i recreated the whole animation section from scratch, and then moved each text box and shapes frame by frame to get the end result. was it extremely tedious? yes. but i was able to start getting familiar with after effects and leaned on photoshop for help as i was more familiar with using it. and i am still super proud of it. as it also means a lot to me with my obsession with persona and whatnot. ask me about my korean p5x account i burned waaaay too much time into.
