Stop Motion Animation
Designed by Cassidy Chen, Kefan Lyu
The animation aims to capture the essence of the Instagram experience, from the initial curiosity of exploring new content to the addictive act of scrolling and discovering. As the content moves upward, it reveals a series of images and posts that simulate the content on Instagram, drawing attention to the repetitive and all-consuming nature of this digital action, and encouraging viewers to reflect on their own online habits and the impact of social media on their lives.
The main focal point of the animation is the continuous upward scrolling as if the user is endlessly swiping through posts. This looping effect emphasizes how easy it is to get lost in the never-ending stream of content. The posts include items like designer bags, perfume, sunglasses, and camera, which symbolize the allure of consumerism and the curated lifestyle often depicted on social media platforms.
