Workshop Week - Motion Graphic Fairytale - Animation Sequence project

Using the basic components of storytelling, this workshop aimed to produce a contemporary fairy-tale using motion graphics and After Effects. In the workshop we all first saw some some motion graphic projects for reference which all included a storyline with a hero, villain, donor, princess etc. (role types on screen which make up the storyline). Below is one of the references we saw...

From these references there was one which the workshop was mainly based on and that is the 'Animation Sequence Project' by in60seconds (below)...

In the workshop we were given a similar task to the 'Animation Sequence Project' which was to make a whole story by each student creating a 10 second long scene from the story and then putting them together at the end. Each student's scene had to finish and end with a square (250 x250 pixels) in the middle of the screen. Each student in the workshop was given a scene from the story which Sara (the tutor running the workshop) made. My part was called 'Struggle' which consisted of the hero and villain going into direct combat.
