'Journey' - Rachel Milner

Journey from Rachel J Milner on Vimeo.
When on Vimeo, I came across this interesting concept, of illustrating an aspect that can't visually be seen, in this instance, it's the sending of a text message, following the message on a journey, from one person's device to another.
The animation follows an array of letters, flowing through the sky like a flock of birds, as the camera seems to follow the letters, as if the viewer is part of the journey.
It ventures through a city, across a train track, over mountains, a forest and finally over to the sea.
The minimalistic animation used helps develop the importance of the message and the digital aspect it represents. I really like the idea of visually representing something that can't physically be witnessed in transit.
