This was my second time participating in the Yule log 2.0 call for entries. This year (2014) I teamed up with animator Salih Abdul Karim to make this piece come to life. Our goal was to create a looping animated landscape that would emulate the feel of old 1920’s-30’s style cartoons, while still keeping to the standard Yule Log format.
Final Animation
Process
These are my original sketches. I was exploring a lot of different environment options and not all of these characters were used in the final piece.
The sketches were then taken into Illustrator where they were vectorized. We then created short loops for each character using the polished illustration. These are a few examples of the finished looping animations.
