Music: Spiedkiks - The day before

This short was made for a college assigment where we had to animate a character in a 3D scenario, all of this done with the After Effects tools.

It was amazing to make a 2D rig, I am sharing down some pics of the Behind the scenes for this animation:

• Idea + Sketch: for this assigment I used an old design I made in 2022 for a X QUEST thing, it has been forever so I gave a proper redesign that follows my current style and character design ideals, I think he looks amazing now

• The RIG: Drawign the model and separating the body part was the fun part, the hard part was putting it all in After Effect in order, properly connected, and masked.

However the addon "Duik Angela" made the whole Rigging process so satisfying to do, I even got the chance to experiment with it a little, now his Bucket Helmet was completely 3DIMENSIONAL, If I had more time I wish I could make this rig even more complex

• 3D SCENARIO: Working on 3D with AE is PAINFUL, specially with these looping objects and camera that just pans out, but the tower was a even bigger pain in my ass, in fact I had to cheat on the second scene because making a 3D cone that spins around only on AE is basically impossible, so that cone is actually a 3D object

Plus this fuckass scene wouldn't render for some reason and it almost made me late for the assigment deadline
