Dragon Cave Animation

Final project to demonstrate skills learned in illustrator, photoshop, and after effects. This video features 3d elements and camera effect, and a precomposition of new dragon hatchling.

Step 1: Adobe Illustrator

Created all the shapes that make up the dragon, eggs, and cave. I released the layers to be opened in Photoshop for more detail.

Step 2: Adobe Photoshop

I added depth and dimension to the individual layers using a mix of brushes to create texture and personality.

Step 3: After Effects

I opened the Photoshop layers in After Effects to bring it to life. Using the camera feature we’re taken through the different layers to look inside the cave. Once inside the dragon eases in for a cute introduction and a quick nap.
