HONEY - HAIKUS WITH KAWHI LEONARD

My duty for this project involved breaking apart illustrations and animating them in After Effects.

Each illustration of a scene was split apart in photoshop and expanded upon in order to build out the 2.5D scenes in After Effects. Once imported, I was able to follow a storyboard and audio to guide the pacing and sequence of shots as I laid out each layer. I animated the vfx, backgrounds and camera to match the provided cel animated character, in order to create dynamic depth, speed and motion.
