Animation Scraps: Water

The only element that is 3D in this clip is the water.
Everything else is Photoshop layers. The attempt is NOT to make it look real, but to animate my own painting style.. I even attempted to "dumb down" the 3D look of the water and make it look more "painterly".

3D is Lightwave
Artwork is Photoshop
Compositing and editing is After Effects.

Very nice work. What 3D program did you use to create the ocean?

I like how it looks, ominous and mysterious yet it is still light and beautiful.

Hey Chris I love your works. When are you gonna put on some new ones? I'd appreciate if you could check out my drawings of my dead dragon story and give me some tips on making him seem a little more vicious and scary. My web site is all one word but this comment page won't let me put it in that way. So here it is. Dead Dragon Tale .com I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again keep drawing. You have so much to offer the world. Bye Now !!!" Retro Ron" 06/23/10

@MishMash987 well you should usually go in imageready where you can make the animations and you basically do every frame of the animation a different layer when you are on a different frame make another layer and set the other layers' visibility off.That way it knows what you want on each frame its the only one that has visibility then when you are at the next frane simply make another layer and make it the only one with visibility too.

I think that a very realistic way to animate is to do one of you photorealistic pics and make an animation frame by frame on photoshop! It'd take years, but it would be cool
