Sticker Photos

PNG Sequence

Original Animation

Stop Motion - Stickers

Goal

I really wanted to create something outside of just Illustrator and After Effects. I wanted to find a way to combine my previous interest in live-action production and animation.

Process

The core of the project surrounds the concept of creating a video—shooting, Editing, and then posting. I wanted icons to emphasize these ideas, so I created them in Illustrator and then animated the boards in After Effects. Then, I exported the entire project as a PNG sequence and then aligned them on an artboard in Illustrator so they could be printed onto vinyl. Those pieces were then cut into stickers and then placed in places full of texture. These photos were then brought back into After Effects and aligned with the original animation to produce the final result.

Tools

All assets were created in Illustrator and animated within After Effects. The project also used live action materials like camera equipment and the stickers were printed onto vinyl.
