Loops and Living Holds

In this session we continued onto after effects where we learned how to make effective looping animation and also applying textures to our characters. For this we were asked to create to create a vector drawing of the character or object that would loop.

Importing it into after effects I then ensured that the rigging went smoothly by keeping anchor points in the right place. Pleased with the outcome of the character I went on the background and just to give the Halloween spirit what better than splats of blood and even better when the splat of blood wiggles around to give that horrific feel. Finishing it up with a textured background I was pleased with the creepy outcome that came forth.

Since Halloween is on its way I thought of using that theme to create a short loop.
