Project Overview

This project demonstrates a composition fully made in after effects made from Aphora their art, I used photoshop for the redraw and After Effects to animate and composit. The focus of this project to learn how to make realistic compositions.

Concept & Planning

The Project started with me scrolling through forums, then i saw the art piece from Aphora and decided i want to animate it.

Animation and Setup

Photoshop Layering Setup

Workflow

I masked out each bodypart and redrew them, then after i pulled it into after effects and used puppet pins to animate the character moving.

Final rendered scene with all effects applied

Technical Challenges

One of the biggest challenges i had with the project was blending the falling down scene. In the original scene his hands were out of the frame, so I went to a later scene and i masked out his hands, then I had to go frame by frame and make sure his hands were not disconnecting from the original footage . It was also really difficult to make the scenes blend together. Overall i think it turned out great, but i definetly have alot to improve on.
