About the Work:
Join the Journey, Follow the Flyby is a kinetic typographic animation centered on NASA’s Psyche mission and its upcoming Mars flyby, planned for May 2026. The project aims to build excitement and public awareness around this milestone in Psyche’s journey, using motion design as a tool for science communication and engagement.
The 40-second animation follows a short-form media structure, delivering fast, digestible facts through typography and rhythm-driven transitions. Designed in a 1080 × 1920 vertical format, the piece is built for social platforms such as Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok, and other trending digital spaces. By meeting audiences where they already consume content, this animation aims to spark curiosity both in viewers who are already following the Psyche mission and in those encountering it for the first time.
