Be the ice Sculptor

Goal

The goal was to create a 30 second piece that stayed true to the style frames. Many elements within the provided assets were created using basic colors and shapes, so I wanted to stay true to that design style.

Process

Within this project, all styleframes were provided to me courtesy of Ordinary Folk. I used Photoshop to organize all the frames and begin sketching out the movement of the piece. I primarily looked to see how different shapes were alike and how they were not, and that information influenced my animation decisions as well as the flow of the piece. Afterward, I rebuilt a large majority of elements within After Effects to gain the necessary control for my vision.

Tools

The entire project was animated within After Effects, and preliminary motion sketches were done in Photoshop.
