Looking back at my short life, I have always been a person who waits. Wait for the opportunity to come, for the right person to show up, and for the happier days to come. I've been passively anticipating rather than actively pursuing. Yet, this tendency to wait, I've come to realize, serves only to hold back my progress. I have decided to break free from this old habit of mine. “Setting Off” is a visual narrative inspired by Kariza Santos’ words from her video “For those waiting for life to happen”. Her words resonate deeply, urging us to stop waiting and start seeking life instead. To well deliver her message through motion graphics, I built an illustration style interwoven with typographic elements. By seamlessly integrating text with visuals, "Setting Off" amplifies Santos' message, ensuring that viewers not only hear but also see and feel the essence of her words.
