AfterEffects: The Hand

In today's workshop we were looking at how to animate a hand drawn image. To do this we had to bring with us to the workshop 3 identical line drawings traced on top of each other, so we had three versions of the same image scanned in to work with.
We were shown an example piece in the workshop:

Forest: Just One Day from Johnny Kelly on Vimeo.

For my piece, i decided to draw a tree, i traced my drawing so i had three versions of the same image, this is so when you animate it it flows nicely. During the workshop i found my tree was really difficult to animate in a hand drawn way as it is really detailed and not drawn from one single line however i tried my best to achieve the same look. I used a tool to make the trunk appear like it was being drawn and then i used a slightly different effect to make the branches look like they were growing off the tree. To improve this i decided to redraw my tree in a simpler way and start again, doing the same thing but making it look better, also adding text.

'But discussing street art along with mainstream art, architecture and urban planning will inevitably lead to the departure of the professionals and the middle class. It remains very much beyond the pale,
like a tattoo, a sign of being unspeakable. Infringing on the body of the city it contains an implicit critique of location. Graffiti is still about marking territory and rejecting the power implications of the built environment. Because of this we have no serious interpretation of this radicalising art form. It is like the argument between calling someone a freedom fighter or a terrorist; there is symmetry but no common ground or willingness to talk. Graffiti manifests the emergence of another taste culture, one well below the five that the urban sociologist Herbert Gans distinguishes'
