The goal for my 30 second public service announcement was reach out to people who suffer with depression and anxiety. I wanted to represent the daily struggles that people with depression face. How it is okay if simple daily tasks can be hard. I wanted to depict some of the struggles that people with depression face therefore I chose getting out of bed, talking about appearance, and struggles with eating. People with depression can face so many struggles throughout the day that each day seem impossible. Another reason that I chose these activities is because I have seen what it is like to struggle through fighting to get out bed, trying to look people look happy but being sad, and struggling to eat. I wanted to create a PSA to remind people that it is okay to struggle. My goal was to keep the animation calm. I choose to mainly stick to cool tone colors in order to create a subdued environment. I wanted to have calming music to play in the background and wanted to continue a calming tone with my voice over.

I spent the most time working on the first scene, it was quite challenging to work with the 3D layers in After Affects. The mirror scene with the two girls, I wanted to highlight that people who are depressed can look put together or ‘worn out’. For the breathe in and out I wanted to keep it simple because sometimes that simple action is hard. I wanted to style it like meditation videos.
