Idiom:
- a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light )
The animal i chose to animate was a pigeon. The idiom i used was:
“Set the cat among the pigeons”
The first step was to create the actual pigeon that was gonna be used in the animation. Before getting on the computer i sketched out a few ideas:
The next step was to create a story board to be able to figure out what the actual story was gonna be and what objects i was going to have to design in illustrator:
Next i designed my characters using illustrator:
Then i transferred each character into After Effects and began to create the animation:
And finally the final product:
