Mi dispiace! It's been a while! Many various school projects/my frustrating perfectionism aren't exactly the two most creatively compatible things in the world. Obviously my creative blocks have been listening to a little Keri Hilson because they "just get back up, when I knock them down"....rude.
Anyway, here's my follow up example of 3D space in AfterEffects. I had something a little more extravagant planned but I just couldn't get it right. It was getting to the point where I was just thinking in circles and not actually producing anything. But, fortunately, I think this as helped unblock the creative flow. It better! I'm running out of semester time!
The scene is pretty simple. In contrast to my nighttime posts, this one takes place in the day but still up in the sky. I drew everything in Photoshop first (I love the way the clouds turned out) then brought the cropped layers into AfterEffects and positioned them in 3D space. The kite text is just a recorded sketch. I wanted to simulate reality with the sky, so as the camera flies out, the clouds furthest in the distance fade out.
It needs to be longer, but I think it works! The music really made the difference. Enjoy!
