"The Birthday"

Ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly present my third After Effects animation project! The assignment this time was to create a complex, cycling motion path for three distinct characters. . .or in other words, what I'd been doing all along. Hahah. Anyway, I went all out on this one. Everything except the bow and confetti is hand drawn by me, and I love how it turned out. Such a good vibe, don't you agree?
Each little animal was made up of four distinct layers, and the main character was 8. O_O;;
Not to mention all the scenery and prop layers.
I'm definitely more comfortable with animating multiple layers now. But I digress. This little adorable guy is having a birthday and you're invited!

-----------
Animated in Adobe After Effects CS3
Character/ Scene Design in Photoshop CS3
Vocals/Sound Effects recorded by me
Music is "Dum Da Dum Doi Doi" from the Neverhood soundtrack
Total time spent=roughly 20 hours over 4 days.
