This is my work for Team B in Group 6, about how I animated the glitch effects to match with the stages transitioning from being normal to being horrifically corrupted with many ominous hashtags. Although, all of that are in the last fake profile picture. The concept of this video shows how the souls of dead influencers can create fake identities of profile pictures. These pictures have been generated by www.thispersondoesnotexist.com, which Kitti has initiated for the team, where she also manipulated the images to become distorted and evil. I would like to thank her for excellent work that she began the ideas on this project. Thanks to her, I helped her as a team to make my special effects animation video possible, which I've animated the glitches on Adobe Animate, and then putting them into effect with profile images that people doesn’t exist on Premiere Pro.
