Share your sketches and finished animation!

Follow Heather's process to create a GIF with a message. Use research and a word tree to find a visual hook, sketch and color your animation frames in Procreate, and then hop over to After Effects to put it all together.

Consider these questions as you work:

What kind of inspiration did you pull from your research – color, style, motion?
Did your word tree unlock any unexpected ideas?
How did you combine concepts from your word tree to convey your point of view?

Share your progress as you go! From initial thumbnails to finalized GIFs, we're excited to see it all.
