Honestly what

I was at a supermarket and I saw two kids with a cart that asked a random lady in the line if she could watch their cart while they went to get something. And the whole time the lady was like can you come backkkk already. Honestly mood

concept: Don’t worry, I’ll be right back!

process: For this project, I really wanted hone in on the concept of “follow through” and I figured a good practice would be character animation.  So, I found a fun vector illustration on shutterstock; that I was able to separate in Illustrator.  And from there, it was really all After Effects.

I started by animating the feet; offsetting the keyframes for each foot.  Then I worked on the arms (again offsetting each arm), which lead me to the balloon, followed by the head bobble and the the blinking eyes.  I found this chronological method to be incredibly beneficial.  Because once, I had the feet animating right I was able to use that as a base to animate everything else.  (Also, because, I’m ocd and like working in a chronological way.)  The balloon and string were the trickiest pieces!  They are literally connected, but I wanted each to have it’s own weight and personality.  So, I ended up animating them separately - the arm leading the string which lead the balloon.  I just massaged those keyframes, really working the graph editor, to give the balloon it’s bounce and wiggle.

Lastly, I wanted to turn this into a looping GIF.  So, I made sure to have the same starting and ending frame.  And brought the character in and out of the frame from two different positions.  And… speaking of “follow through”, I separated the string even further to give a trail at the end.
