Project Information
This music video animation project provided a lot of opportunities for learning how to use 2D and 3D techniques in motion graphics programs like Motion and After Effects. It also gave me some chances to play around with video editing and sound effects editing.
It took about 3 months to create or compile all the different 2D assets and combine them into short video segments using Apple's Motion.

About half the assets I drew by hand using Procreate and Photoshop. Some of the illustrations I created with Illustrator and some were gathered from sources like Shutterstock.
I created special effects and puppet warp animations using Adobe After Effects and then stitched all the segments together and added post effects using Final Cut Pro X.
