Rural Energy

This animated photo was part of a series I created throughout quarantine, where I used after-effects to test out several different editing techniques that mirrored my emotions throughout that time. I was inspired by Dr. Strange in a way, where I wanted to create the sense of experiencing a portal to an alternate reality. I evoked this feeling by playing with lighting changes, reactive particles, a 3D physical floor to “bounce” these particles off of in a physically realistic way, and using turbulent animations and “wind.”
