MICHIGAN MARCHING BAND ANIMATION
During COVID, the University of Michigan’s marching band was unable to perform. So, they approached the agency, Snowday, to ask if they could put together a video performance of the band instead. Snowday approached me about the video portion for this project. Working with the band members, Snowday captured hundreds of videos and images, which were then passed off to me, to put together a stop-motion animation of the band, cheer team, and color guard all playing together on a field. I storyboarded the full animation sequence, put together the style frames, cut out frame after frame of each student’s performance, and swept it all together into one cohesive animation.
See the full animation sequence, with video footage to start it off with, on Vimeo below.
