After Effects 3D Animation

The goal of this project was to explore the abilities of After Effect’s 3D layer capabilities. I decided to make a bumper advertisement for a fictional social media app.

Case Study 2

Pre-production

I presented two storyboards in class to get feedback. The second storyboard was chosen because the action remained in the centre. For the colours, I wanted something colourful and vibrant.

Problem and solutions

The vibrant neon colour palette was not working, as I felt they were starting to mix into each other the longer you looked at them. I decided to rework and make a bold purple and yellow palette instead, having the purple be more dominant colour.

Animation

I added the call to action and a starburst effect to the background to add more visual interest to the advertisement.
