A breakdown of a personal project based on visual experimentations with footage from travels to Scotland.
This personal project evolved out of some footage I had taken in the Scottish Highlands in 2019. I realised there wasn’t enough footage to make a conventional video, so decided to experiment by seeing if it would work in animation.
I tried to capture the looseness and flow of conventional editing with longer shots, to see how long I could hold attention with minimal movement. It was a fun challenge to combine rotoscoping and comping techniques just in After Effects to push the grainy look. Above are a few samples of my process as well as selected sketches and styleframes from earlier in the project.
A huge thanks to my sound designer David for creating a moody and atmospheric soundscape.
