Project Background

This project is about creating a short infographic video of a destination. I chose to focus on four countries that are connected as part of the Balkan region in Europe. I was able to showcase each destination through engaging visuals and motion graphics while highlighting the connection between each country. I also focused on providing a fast but smooth consistency when presenting each destination. A challenge in this project was adjusting the timing to ensure the text stayed on screen long enough while still meeting the required video length.

How it came together

Planning

I began the planning process by selecting four countries in the Balkan region that I wanted to showcase, focusing on key locations, culture, and travel highlights. I gathered information and visuals that best represent each destination and organized the content into clear sections. From there, I planned the structure of the video, making sure each country would be presented in a consistent and easy-to-follow way.

The Journey

During the project, I focused on designing the visuals and developing the animation in After Effects. I created graphics and layouts for each country, ensuring consistency in colour, typography, and layout throughout the video. I found it challenging to balance the text with the timing of the animations, so I adjusted the pacing to make sure the text was readable while maintaining a smooth flow between scenes.
