Letters Series
Prompt: taking inspiration from the #365DaysofType Challenge, create a unique letter form for your given letters: "F","S", and "V". The video should be a seamless loop
Letter "F"
My Process
I decided to dive deeper into the typography design, taking reference from Victorian fabric patterns. I also took note of the era to influence the movement and path of the ribbon: graceful and elegant. I used a combination of cell animation and keyframed animation to get the effect I wanted.

Letter "S''
My Process
For my take on the letter "S," the idea of making the letter more abstract was to stay away from the usual interpretations of it. The challenge for this letter was understanding the physics of the shapes that I'd created and how they would interact with the falling ball. Additionally, giving character to the shapes while maintaining the letter-form

Letter - V
My Process
To add variety to the assignment, I decided to make the 3rd letter more 3-dimensional while working on 2-d plane. I took reference from video game motion design. (It's more challenging than you think when you've only played Left 4 Dead and Wii Sports.)
