Eggs

More fun with After Effects! I decided to start doing a series of short pieces to help improve my AE skills. This time, instead of a character test (don't worry, Roo will be back!) I made a short about a cannibalistic egg. Originally they were just little orbs, but I figured eggs would be more relatable. Is it weird that that's the point that concerned me?

In my next short I plan on adding color and possibly texture to the scene, along with sound and a little bit of special effects. I've already begun on the character designs, which are more Roo-like in nature. For now I'll call it "Science on a Budget." Stay tuned!

Roo Character Test

Playing around in After Effects with a character I'm thinking of using in some upcoming shorts.  She's got a nice, simple design so I can spend more time working on my favorite part -- animating! (which, I'm finding, is a lot of fun in AE.)

Oh Roo, you're so zany.
