The duration of each layer was set to 1 frame and then the Animation Assistant was used to sequence the layers. The light streak was created using Trapcode Particular with the emitter position linked to a null using expressions to facilitate animation in the 3d space of the scene layers.Ī layered Photoshop file containing the mouth shapes for each phoneme was imported as a Composition. The scene was relit and color corrected to change the mood and time of day. The water was created/animated using the Tsunami Plug-in with its internal camera linked to the composition camera using expressions. A night sky was added in the background and individual cloud layers animated. The photo was recreated in After Effects using 3d layers and an animated camera. Individual cloud layers created using a custom cloud texture brush. Photograph of Hoover Dam separated into layers (sky and water removed) in Photoshop. After Effects was used to composite the Multi-Pass renders from Cinema4D (rgb/ambient occlusion/shadow) on the background and add lens flare, color correction and sound effects.Ĭreated using After Effects and Photoshop. The falling letters were created using MoText and a Rigid Body simulation in Cinema4D. Lens blur was also added in After Effects using the Frischluft Lenscare Plug-in and a Depth Pass rendered from Cinema 4D.Īfter Effects CS6 was used to track the camera motion of the background and then exported to Cinema4D.

Steam was added in After Effects using the Trapcode Particular Plug-in and the project file/camera data exported from Cinema 4D. The scene was created/rendered using Cinema 4D. The text was created using the Boris 3D Text Plug-in.

Roots created and animated using paint effects in Maya. Seedling growth animated using the puppet tool. “Underground” foreground and plants added using 3d layers. Landscape “perspective” created using camera projection in After Effects. A long lens with shallow depth of field was used to compress the perspective and both the camera position and depth of field were animated to control the focus on specific layers. Scale/opacity animated to reveal flowers and leaves.

The 'Write-on' Plug-in was used to animate a mask path revealing the vine image underneath. Particular and compound blur was also used to create the animated volumetric light rays.Īnimated in After Effects using 3d layers. A fish animated with the puppet tool and wiggle expressions was used as a custom particle with Trapcode Particular to create the group swimming. The jellyfish was animated using a mesh warp deformation. The Tsunami Plug-in was used to create the animated water surface. The underwater scene was created similarly. The Boris 3d layer Plug-in was used to curve the leaves and create the stem from a cylinder. The flower was built from individual petal/leaf 3d layers as was the butterfly. The landscape was built in After Effects by offsetting 3d layers in Z Space. The illustration of the flower was separated into fore/mid/background layers in Photoshop as well as individual petal, leaf, butterfly and cloud textures. The flower and underwater landscape book inserts were created with 3d layers in separate compositions and then added to the book/table composition as 3d layers using collapse transformations to preserve the 3d information. The Optical Flares Plug-in from Video Copilot was used to create/animate 3D lens flares. BCC Lens Blur was added with a mirror lens shape. The camera was animated using a custom 3-node camera rig. Particles created using Trapcode Particular in After Effects. All work designed and animated by Elizabeth Morringello
