Frame by frame & shape animation

Rough Animation

Here we bring you one of the animated shots that required a mixture of techniques Using the expressiveness of traditional frame-by-frame animation we created a rough animation in ToonBoom Harmony as a reference that helped us nail down the complex rotation of the character.

Cleanup

Then we cleaned it up with shape layers in After Effects, to maintain the quality and style of the art. A very time-consuming process, with tons and tons of keyframes, but the result was amazing! 



Let us know in the comments if you would have done this shot differently!
