Jaclyn Saik Project 03

This project was definitely the most challenging because it was so open ended. I was originally inspired by another geometric animation I saw on Colossal, where there were a bunch of very small white dots that had slight colored shadows, which made them look extremely mesmerizing and gave them an appearance of movement even in the moments they were static. With my sketch, I wanted to play with the idea of rotating and spinning elements that are changes by the mouse.  While making the circles rotate around an origin, I played with making them all revolve around the mouse, but I ended up making something that was a steadier in composition so that you could more easily interact with it with your mouse. I had the mouse position change the little text that cheers you on, as well as the stroke and color changes. I had a lot of fun making the objects create a trailed background, and I think it made the project look even crazier, which is what I was going for.
