01 The Concept.
The idea behind this project was to create a rotoscope animation that looped between the stages of sleeping and awakening. I began by sketching a storyboard and writing some key ideas for the project. I then filmed myself performing the actions I had outlined. This footage was converted into individual frames and used as a reference throughout the rest of the process.
02 The Process.
Throughout the animation and filming process, my initial storyboard changed. However, the idea stayed the same. I used Procreate software to sketch each frame of the reference video.
I used old footage I had captured on a family trip years prior for the butterfly. I cut out specific frames of the butterfly's motion using Adobe Photoshop. I then edited them similar to a stop motion, using after effects. Lastly, I recorded and edited the sounds using Adobe Audition.
03 The Final Video.
I edited the final video using Adobe After Effects.
Enjoy!
