Part of the design offerings from the team was animated trailers. I was intimidated but determined to learn and excel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After months of bugging my coworkers for advice and after-hours practice, I gave in and decided to take a motion graphics class.

This video was my final project and quite fun, because it served no purpose other than entertainment and the call to action to adopt a cat. With what experience I had already I used my resources: hired a copywriter to come up with a script, got a wonderful voice over from fiverr, and let the creating begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"social-bar\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"module col-9 module-id-1745967397008 col-offset-2\" data-module-col=\"9\"><div class=\"module-inside embed-inside\" style=\"--cornerRadius:0px 0px 0px 0px ; --top-mod: 0px;--bottom-mod: 40px;--top-mod-t: 0px;--bottom-mod-t: 40px;--top-mod-m:0px;--bottom-mod-m:20px;\" ><div class=\"embed-wrap embed-wrap-with-radio \" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" ><iframe class=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2tHiag_8mPY?autoplay=0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"module col-11 module-id-1745967303905 bm-wrap row-middle row-equal_spacing_h keep-origin-layout-mobile bm-wrap-height-auto col-offset-1\" data-module-col=\"11\" data-change-color=\"off\" data-backcolor=\"transparent\" data-frontcolor=\"\" data-logocolor=\"\" data-goto-top=\"off\" data-goto-top-spacing=\"0\" data-goto-disable-m=\"\" data-groupsameheight=\"off\"><div class=\"module-inside group-inside\" style=\"--top-mod: 0px;--bottom-mod: 0px;--top-mod-t: 0px;--bottom-mod-t: 0px;--top-mod-m:0px;--bottom-mod-m:0px;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"module col-4 module-id-1745967303966\" data-module-col=\"4\"><div class=\"module-inside post-navi-inside\" style=\"--top-mod: 0px;--bottom-mod: 0px;--top-mod-t: 0px;--bottom-mod-t: 0px;--top-mod-m:0px;--bottom-mod-m:0px;\" ><div class=\"post-navi post-navi-bg post-navi-hover-show-img\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"post-navi-tit-wrap\"><a class=\"post-navi-tag\" href=\"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/?p=1019\" title=\"Animated Trailer &#8211; Mann Packing\"><span class=\"label-text\">PREV<\/span><span class=\"navi-title-img\" href=\"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/?p=1019\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"module col-5 module-id-174596730434 col-offset-2\" data-module-col=\"5\"><div class=\"module-inside post-navi-inside\" style=\"--top-mod: 0px;--bottom-mod: 0px;--top-mod-t: 0px;--bottom-mod-t: 0px;--top-mod-m:0px;--bottom-mod-m:0px;\" ><div class=\"post-navi post-navi-bg ux-right post-navi-hover-show-img\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"post-navi-tit-wrap\"><a class=\"post-navi-tag\" href=\"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/?p=4109\" title=\"Balancing Care + Credibility\"><span class=\"label-text\">NEXT<\/span><span class=\"navi-title-img\" href=\"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/?p=4109\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Upwards_brand_dualfeat2-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANIMATIONCats: A Paw-cumentary Animation Project When I began work for &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2944,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,15,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animation","category-motion-graphics","category-works","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2594"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3942,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594\/revisions\/3942"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizcoffee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
