This project explores the shift from the subconscious to the conscious world: moving from a dream state into waking reality. I illustrated the entire sequence in Photoshop and animated it in Adobe Animate, using colour, movement and sound to contrast the calm surrealism of the dream with the noise and chaos of waking up.
⤷ Behind the Scenes:​
​
The concept was built around the idea of “inside to outside,” with the dream representing introspection, spirituality and calm, and the waking sequence reflecting noise, stress and the heaviness of real life. I used cool purples and blues for the dream and warm, earthy tones for reality. The audio followed the same logic, moving from meditation music to the abrupt snap of an iPhone alarm. The animation was created using a few base illustrations, frame-by-frame boiling effects and simple movements like opening the eyes and camera pans.
The final piece became a personal study on how progress and perception shift between our inner world and the one we wake up to. It was also my first time properly using Adobe Animate, which made the project feel like a turning point in how I approach moving image work.
