Innovation Project

2D animation is the most traditional form of animation, hand drawn and cell animation has developed with technology such as Flash and Toon Boom, making animations faster to produce and opening up a whole new way of producing animation to animators.

What makes programmes such as Flash valuable to animators is the fact that files can cross over into over digital programmes such as After Effects to add even more exciting dimensions to their work.

IN this project I hope to add a darker atmosphere to my 2d animation using after effects to help me create effects such as fog, various lighting and shadows. Even though Flash is a powerful tool I hope to achieve a darker looking animation, something I dont think I can acheive through Flash alone.
Using After Effects gives me a chance to turn 2D objects into 3D objects which allows me to set them up on different planes letting me add a certain depth to my work.








This Video from Ruggero Tomasino shows just what after effects can do to create a completely different atmosphere to a piece of footage.
