Storm
Shahira Alavudheen

I took a long time to start working on this project.There are a lot of ideas I considered for this project. I thought about adding hand-drawn animations, 3D objects, moving type. I wasn’t sure which medium to choose— Procreate,Blender, or After Effects. In the end, I was just listening to the song again, and while staring at my poster, I felt like someone stuck in the center of a storm of emotions. It felt like the idea of“a storm”fit. So that’s what I did.I wanted to create a storm of emotions and colors, ones that reflect what Angelica may have been feeling while in that moment. Angelica’s a complicated character for me to understand, and this song shed some light onto her thoughts. Trying to put myself in her shoes, it felt likeher words were a storm around me. There’s so much that Angelica is— and one, is clear-headed and practical. She’s more than once shown that there are things she’s regretted she’s done because of how quick she’s been on looking over her options and choosing the most practical one. She swallows down her own emotions, and does what needs to be done. For someone whose steps are so steady and clear, her emotions must’ve been in a rage around her, all the things she wishes she could give into.The words “I’m not here for you,” hang in the eye of this storm, Eliza’s name going in and out of focus as it bleeds into the background. Everything else spins around this center. I try to showAngelica’s anger, her pain, and her love in the colors.
