Second Wind

One of my favorite videos on Vimeo is this short animation called 'Second Wind' as part of a project of Ian Worrel. It was a project on his final year at CalArts and the tools that he used where pencil and paper for the man and the cat line animation. It was coloured in photoshop, composited in after effects onto backgrounds constructed in photoshop out of various pieces of media (pen/ink, pencil, paint, photos).

Pretty impressive animation with a touching narrative that brings good memories of when most animations where hand drawn. Enjoy!

When working on the final editing for 'Isolation' I realised that there's loads of things we should have worked on. 

Things I notice is that probably the combination of having the backgrounds on a more artistic-looking with the simple front might be too contrasting. Probably playing more with textures would have been helpful.
Next project, I'll make sure to give the editing more time and dedication.
