Silver Telly Winner
People's Telly - Promotional Video

Below is a showcase of some elements I created as part of a comprehensive UI template system we continue to use when animating scenes.

Dynamic Taskbar Animation:

  • Versatile Design: Created a dynamic taskbar animation designed to accommodate various revisions and projects.
  • Marker Remap Plugin: Utilized the Marker Remap plugin for efficient scene placement and flexibility within After Effects, streamlining the animation process and allowing for adaptable scene arrangements.

Essential Properties Development:

  • High Flexibility: Developed a series of Essential Properties for the taskbar, providing extensive control over its appearance.
  • Customizable Features: Enabled effortless changes to the taskbar’s color, date and time updates, activation of additional states, and seamless integration of different applications into the taskbar.

In addition to developing multiple templates, I actively participated in creating various scenes in the final video. The process involved a well-structured approach:

  • Storyboarding: Collaborated with the storyboard artist to create detailed frames, laying the foundation for the animation.
  • Provisional UI Content: Incorporated temporary UI elements to visualize interactions and refine the overall flow.
  • Final UI Integration: Refined and evaluated the UI meticulously, ensuring a polished and visually impressive final product.
  • 3D Animation: Delivered the completed UI animations to the 3D artists on my team for finalizing the animation.

This structured and collaborative approach resulted in a polished and visually impressive video, demonstrating the new capabilities of Windows 11.
