Since I was pleased with how testing was going so far, meaning I would be able to put some of the best tests into my actual animation, I began with creating more elements and more scenes for me to experiment with in After Effects.
I next began to animate the truck scene where it comes forward into the camera. I wanted to make this scene more stable than the others because this is an example of a driver being in the right and not drink driving. So I needed it to be static in contrast to the other character.
I created the truck layer in Photoshop and made it into a 3D layer in After effects making it come forward into the lens. I liked the pacing of this, but thought it needed something more despite it being an only one or two second long scene.
Therefore I decided to give it some lights and loved the outcome. It makes the animation a lot more realistic and easier to understand! I think if I animate a character behind the wheel, it will look even better.
Since I had animated a car coming toward the camera, I decided to try and animate the drunk driver from the side as another contrasting angle. I made sure to not just animate the car going forward, but to also give it movement up and down to give the illusion that the surface of the road isn't so smooth. I blurred out the background so that it seems as though the car is going really fast, in combination with the wheels spinning extremely quickly. I quite like this scene, though I feel like it might need to be a bit more 'wobbly' to make the drunk driver appear even more drunk. I will ask this at the crit on Thursday!
