Project Intent

I aimed to explore the importance of platonic physical touch in daily life by conducting interviews of students in an ethical and informed manner. 

The resulting recordings were drawn and animated frame by frame using Adobe Animate and additional effects were added through motion tweening in Adobe After Effects.

Though the project is not directly about the COVID-19 pandemic, it was highly inspired by the sudden awareness of physical touch in the age of social distancing.
