DANCE ON THE DEMONS - Music Video - Work in Progress
I wanted to experiment and learn about depth and a 2.5D/Parallax effect within Adobe After Effects, in collobaration with a local musician, I've been creating an animated music video.
Effect Test Project
I wanted to understand how it might work, and had some photographs in my backyard that captured some seagulls feeding. I created layers in Photoshop from different parts of the images, and looked to make something quite surreal and cinematic, using a "puppet pin" effect to give some movement to different parts of the still images.

Once I understood the process, I planned and filmed reference video. I also used existing photographs I shot, to create assets to populate the world.

I'm currently finalising effects on video assets, and have created a camera within the software to animate through the scene.
