LAB is a playground for experimentation, a space free from client work constraints where I can explore ideas, fail, test new approaches to animation and creativity, and occasionally make some cool sh*t. A mix of personal projects, course pieces, and creative experiments live here.
Kinetic Typography - White Noise is a personal project developed from the Animated Typography in After Effects course by Érico Santana on Domestika. Inspired by the track “Echo Chamber” by Northlane, the project explores blending different typographic animation styles and transitions, seeking new visual paths to bring a more dynamic final outcome. Motion by Felix Alves, sound design by Felipe Sezarino.
Zenith EV Charging is a personal project created during the event “Motion Design: The Challenge” by Layer Lemonade, directed by Supernova Duo. The animation follows a super flat, minimalist, and colorful visual language, focusing on abstract shapes, color, typography, and hard-cut transitions, while also exploring new 3D features in Adobe After Effects. Creative direction by Supernova Duo, motion by Felix Alves.
Walking Around is a personal project created to explore character animation through the combination of collage and illustration. The character was developed in Photoshop using textured cutouts and placed into an illustrated environment created in Illustrator and animated in After Effects.
These are two experimental projects created in Cavalry with the objective of learning more about the software and its functionalities. In the first one, I explore the Image Sample effect, while in the other I experiment with how Forge Dynamics works.
