Giles Timms 2 months ago

Rafael, thanks ever so much for the comment. And no, it's not stopmotion, the film was animated in After Effects (and a tiny bit in TVPaint)

Love the hand drawn look and use of colors. Not quite sure the song fits the mood of the animation, but it may just be a personal preference. This is great! A lot of hard work went into this. Beautiful.

Absolutely fascinating! I really like the 3-D depth of the multi-layer elements, focusing and pulling through them feels like you are wearing 3-D glasses, incredible. You are in your element, superb work!
