The aim of creating hand-drawn pieces is to animate fluently and sometimes ruggedly to create ‘moving pictures’; objects that stand still but are still full of motion.
To make this I chose a subject matter and drew three quick images which were all different slightly. I then imported these into After Effects and created a composition, layering these images on top of each other.
On the timeline I let each image show for a second by placing each section of animation one after another, so the images appeared in stages. Once I had done this for three seconds I copied each of the layers and pasted them so they filled the composition time, whilst always dragging the timeline points so that they were staggered across the timeline, resulting in the moving image shown above.
