throughline; Animation Test
I've always known that this style of illustration would eventually evolve in to motion and this was an early test to feel out the process. Despite my years of working in 3D animation I had never attempted a frame by frame 2D animation since finishing school. There's a really savage tactility to it, such a kick when the movement feels right and an equally powerful punch when it feels off. The slow process of finding the right feeling and the minute changes that bring it there is quite meditative. This project instilled me a desire to do way more motion and start honing those skills of knowing what those right and wrong feelings are for me and how to achieve them.
