A collection of my personal motion work to experiment with Adobe After Effects and Illustrator.
Image assets were gathered and used in creation of these videos.

Escape From The Nautiloid - I utilized the puppet tools for the Nautiloid tentacles as part of secondary animation, In order to give the video a retro feel, I also utilized Echo on the title entry, scanline & Optic Compensation as part of compositing practice.

Rime of the Frostmaiden - This one was challenging since I had to figure out how to implement Turbulence Displacement Map for the frost transition effect. I also utilized that on the title intro. I experimented with CC Particle Systems II to create the billowing snow.

Planet Earth - While this was created from a tutorial from Video Copilot and their Orb plugin, this primarily was an experiment to further understand how to work with 3D in After Effects. I came to understand how the 3D camera and lightings worked. Earth was created by utilizing depth map and bump map to simulate 3D textures on the Earth.

Loading Screen - I gathered the vector assets and a looping lizard gif to create a loading screen. This was a practice in understanding how to create a parallax to simulate movement and depth.
