A Short Guide to Fabric Dye
Project Type: Motion Graphics
Role: Illustrator, Animator
Client: Self-Exploration
Deliverables: Storyboard, Animated Video
Date: Fall 2025
I began by researching RIT’s instructional materials across their website and packaging. Using this information, I wrote a script and created a sketched storyboard to define pacing and visuals. I then recorded the voiceover, gathered visual references, and developed a custom illustration style. In Adobe After Effects, I animated the sequence, incorporated subtitles for accessibility, and used particle systems and stylized transitions to enhance the imagery.
This animated explainer video breaks down how to dye clothing at home using original illustration and motion design. It offers a simple, beginner-friendly process that encourages viewers to refresh old garments and embrace more sustainable habits.
I set out to create a short-form animated explainer video optimized for digital platforms like YouTube and Instagram. The topic focused on illustrating the benefits and process of using RIT fabric dye. My goal was to produce a clear educational piece that combined motion design and storytelling.
The final video is a clear, visually polished explainer that communicates the dyeing process in an engaging format.
