This folktale is from eastern region of India, so we wanted to use the traditional style of painting from that region, which is called warli. They mainly use stick figures with triangle bodies. The style and background gives the animation an ancient and vintage aesthetics.
This week, Akshita, Lauren and I found the assets we want to use for the project. For the ones we didn't find, I drew them, like stones and tails. There are a lot of small pieces in this animation, and we didn't think how hard it's going to be to move them individually. Akshita had emergency, so Lauren and I need to figure out a way to edit her part of the assets while doing the animation for this week.
There are a lot of questions I encountered while working in After Effects:
Which composition should I need to work in?
Can I put all the assets in one big Photoshop file and work on them separately in After Effects?
How do we collaborate efficiently? Can we work on different scenes and combine them at the end?
Does it make a different if I import assets as footage or composition (for the assets that don't have layers)?
