America is...

Using the prompt "America is..." create an infinitely looping animation that represents what America means to you.

...infinitely hopeful.

I decided to show a scene of a beautiful D.C. day underneath the cherry blossoms. I remembered all of my walks around the National Mall and the various rallies, groups, and organizations working to make America a better, more inclusive, and more compassionate place.

Process

Going off of my initial sketches, I created a scene of sign-adorned fences in front of the cherry blossoms and monuments. My biggest challenge was making sure each level of motion parallax looped.

Everything was done in After Effects except for the cel animated kite tails.
