Hand Animation - Process

A super quick breakdown of my process for this scene. I started by taking a reference video of my own hand. I did a frame-by-frame drawing in Rough Animator - I wanted it to have a more natural feel with the fingers extending as they approached the grab. I then created the design illustration in Adobe Illustrator, brought it into After effects and created the animation using shape layers. I then brought it into the rest of the scene with the additional elements and camera movement!
