Third Draft Video

Here is the first trial of the sticker effect rotoscoping, I have found that some of the boarders are too thick around the outside so I am going to change this for my final video. 

I found that this was easier to rotoscope this video it was a lot easier as I didn't have to be as specific and I also prefer this style of rotoscoping for my video.

(When watching the video ensure you select 1080p HD quality)

Here we go!

Considering about 3 weeks ago I had never touched after effects and only had used illustrator once for five minutes five years ago I’m pretty happy :). But want to improve.

Strawberries again...

So its been a long couple of weeks internally swearing at illustrator and after following tutorials I feel myself becoming more comfortable with using it :) I have redone my strawberry with no tutorials just the same inspiration.

First attempt:

Now:

I am well aware it does have a certain radishy element to it...But rather a better looking radish than a worse looking strawberry :)

Ballooon text!

Going back to the first images I was inspired by one of them was from Marzia Bisognin:

I love the roundness and playfulness of the text here :).

So after watching a tutorial on balloon text:

I gave it a try myself for the video :).

Drawing an Island!

Since travel is very important and all of the places I love to visit are surrounded by water I wanted to have an flat design Island :). One of my favourite places I have visited was Enoshima and Ainoshima (cat island :D!!!) both tiny islands in Japan. And then of course in Finland my partner’s family live in an island city.

Anyways so I saw Gigantica’s tutorial:

Which I loved! But since theres so much detail there I wanted to turn it into my own so I drew up to here as a base:

And started tweaking it into my own. I also used these tutorials along the way:

To make my final big illustration:

I have a homage in there to my favourite places I have visited also ice cream as who doesn’t love ice cream!

Song choice!

Music is always really important to me so I wanted to find a song that matches the upbeat images I would like to use. After crawling down the youtube rabbit hole I found this song by ‘Ra mu ne’ called ‘Snail House’ who I hadn’t heard of before
