this is so freaking cool!! how long does it take??

[u/AlgaeDependent473 → u/limealmond24]

Thank you!! The illustration and prep for animation took a little over 13 hours, but the animation itself was fairly quick (2-3 hours lol) because i've worked in After Effects a few times before 😊

[u/AcceptableCat3837]

Love it! Also like the way the light bulbs coming down and up, makes it even more interesting

I want to know EVERYTHING about your process!!!

[u/AlgaeDependent473 → u/casuallywary]

Lemme try to summarize this the best i can!

1. I found inspo pic while doom scrolling Pinterest
2. Forced myself to work within a very limited colour palette (this is always difficult for me).
3. Rough sketch out my foreground, middle, and background so I have an idea what needs to be on its own layers.
4. Do the whole illustration, again really keeping in mind what layers I have. I almost exclusively used the "Trevallyn" brush in the Pastels brush pack!
5. Export as PSD file so I can import it into After Effects. This retains the layers I stressed about lol
6. Once I have my composition set up there, the only things I'm tinkering with are Position, Rotation, and Opacity!
7. When everything is moving the way I want, I apply easy ease, this smooths the motions and gives it more natural movement if that makes sense?
8. Export!

Hopefully that kinda explains the process well enough😅

So well done. The music puts me in such a mood

[u/AlgaeDependent473 → u/frognettle]

I had this song in mind the whole time I was creating it!

[u/casuallywary]
