THANKSGIVING WITHOUT THE FANCY SH*T
PERSONAL PROJECT / Animation / 2023
Personal project to post on Thanksgiving. Considering the financial burden of Turkey Day dinners I wanted the short to relate to those who didn’t want to bother, opting instead for a halfway-thematically-relevant turkey sub.
The sandwich is 2D, done on After Effects. Though I could’ve just animated flat layers of the various sandwich fillings, I opted to rig them in such a way to add a bit of depth and realism. I feel that sort of polish is what separates premium animation from the rest, giving your brand / product more credibility.
Another touch of polish was in how the details on the surface of the objects disappear using Trim Paths, because otherwise all the strokes would combine into a thick black mess. I also didn’t just use the Scale property to do this, as I wanted to keep the Stroke thickness consistent.
