Animated Investor.

Let's have a rest a little from the photography and will talk about animation.
I'll show you the process of creating this very short GIF.

Once iI decided to create something related to investment. For example - an Investor. Funny, cute, may be grotesque.

Initial sketch.

And it turned out such a funny guy.

I called it Shrewd and cautious investors
It created using Adobe Illustrator.

Then I decided to animate it. What a nice idea, thought I.
Yeah! But...
You can see how many layers were created - every body part has its own plus layers for any kind of masks.

Open it in New window using mouse right click.

Because it was animated using Time Remap tool I needed to create a sequence of left hand gestures.
So. Here it it is. One right hand (with a coin) and 10 left hands. :)

I animated it using Adobe After Effects. It took me about a day because I never worked with Time Remap tool before. In short this tool allow you to change the flow of time for a layer or to choose which layer should be used at this time.

The result is

Here's a proof that it was created by me :)

But this isn't the end of story! Wait a minute!
A few months after iI decided to use this fella again and created this animated video

It can be used as a part of explainer video or presentation. This guy is ready to help you!

Now - that's it!
Thank you!
