The concept for this trio of animations started way back in 2021. The idea was originally sparked by the ceiling installations of Dale Chihuly. I wanted to play around with a character that is moving in front of and behind transparent colorful shapes. When I revisited the idea in 2023 I also decided I wanted there to be a focus on texture that could approximate the feeling of riso print animations.
I designed the character, styleframes, and cel animated and cleaned each section. Afterwards I took each clean animation into Photoshop and separately cleaned and textured a yellow, pink, and blue layer. Once these were comped together I knew that being able to give each color layer it's own slight movement would add to the imperfect flavor of real riso.
It was really fun to both conceive of and test out this pipeline. Each part presented it's own challenges and allowed me to keep refining my process throughout.
