A Skeleton -An animation
This project is a short animation titled "A Skeleton", created to demonstrate my skills in After Effects and digital illustration. The animation explores dynamic movement by bringing a skeleton character to life through smooth transitions and expressive gestures. I focused on layering vector assets, applying puppet tool animation, and timing to create an engaging and fluid performance. This project helped me refine my animation timing and layering techniques while experimenting with simple storytelling through motion.

Creative Process
Describe your workflow or steps you took to complete this project.
- Step 1: Conceptualized the character and storyboarded basic movement ideas for the skeleton animation.
- Step 2: Created vector illustrations of the skeleton in Adobe Illustrator, separating each body part onto individual layers for animation flexibility.
- Step 3: Imported the assets into After Effects and rigged the skeleton with puppet pins to allow fluid joint movement.
- Step 4: Animated the skeleton's motion, refined easing and timing for natural flow, and added subtle effects to enhance the visual impact.
