MOTION DESIGN | ILLUSTRATION | CASE STUDY
Have you ever aimed to capture the distinct, high-energy aesthetic of classic Japanese anime for a project? For this immersive case study, I crafted a technological, action-packed experience from scratch, primarily utilizing vector assets.
To transform simple vector shapes into a cohesive world, my process began with meticulous color correction. I unified disparate assets into a consistent, cool-toned palette, ensuring the final animation felt harmonious and polished. From this base, I leveraged advanced After Effects lighting techniques to build a compelling nighttime city ambience.
By strategically applying glowing atmospheric lights, rim lighting, and volumetric effects, I converted flat elements into a dynamic, dimensional environment that pulses with a sci-fi energy.
Check out the journey from raw vectors to the finalized, stylized world below. I hope you enjoy it!
