Multi-plane

Multi-plane animation.

The premise of this project was to make a multi-plane layer type of animation sort of like some of Walt Disney's various nature scenes. Using multiple layers and adobe after effects we were able to "scroll" through the nature scene kind as if you were walking through it.

First we created all of the assets for the animation. I created a moon, stars, trees, leaves, grass, and then found some silhouette of some various animals to use. Then i created the actual ground and colored it and then added the grass to the front layer and not the back layer so it gives an illusion of depth. Then i added the trees to the various ground layers. Now it was time to animate. We made keyframes on each end of the layers and then just simply dragged them through creating motions.

Overall i found this to be the most enjoyable animation so far even though we have only done a few. However if feel like this was a large amount of my effort and gave me excitement to see what we would be doing next! therefore this has been the most enjoyable after effects animation for me so far.
