Proud Creations Animation Inspiration
When I started the animation I had the idea of using cameras and null objects in after effects to move around a canvas in a 3d setting from milestone to milestone creating a story. When I figured out the ways in which it could be done I found that I was starting to push the boundaries of what after effects can do, it was more about working with after effects to achieve the look I wanted. Because of this I decided to take a different approach, I was shown a video by proud creative where the creator made a background and a floor and placed objects in a 3d space using after affects 3d tools. I had used these before and believed I could make this look effective. The proud creative animation had an effect that made the pages look like they were turning; this was perfect for me because I wanted the animation to be a digital representation of my book.
I wanted the animation to reflect the idea of hand crafted that I had with my physical book and this was a perfect example of this. I really liked how the animation uses a simple background and floor and inserts objects in-between to tell a story, I would be able to slot in an out my illustrations to create my own story with the added effect of the book turn. I like the colours and textures in this video, they complement each other and I want my animation to be bright and interesting and this makes you want to look a all the things going on, it keeps your attention while watching.
