Shape Layers

MOTION GRAPHICS // Personal Project

PROJECT PREMISE
To create a half minute animation which demonstrates the use of line, shape and line with shape through the use of shape layers from Adobe Illustrator.

TOOLS USED
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe
After Effects.

SUMMARY
This project challenged me to create 3 separate compositions that would be combined into a single 30 second animation. Each composition is followed by a brief moment of black before the next composition starts.

The line composition was an outline of the "ghost" character from the popular Destiny video game and is animated using the trace tool in After Effects. The second composition is the shape composition that makes use of basic geometric shapes to create an interesting way for the ghost to be put together. Lastly, the shape with line composition, utilizes gradients to create a reflective property to the surface of the ghost after it appears in view.
