3D planes Z-Space

Todays session was an adaptation on my previous work using z-space from year one.The only major difference was to give the impression my 3D objects were rolling onto the screen using a page turn effect. Here is an example of how this technique can be effective:

I wasn't particularly impressed with my design, feeling rushed to get the assets made and finished to a high standard, resulting in pixelated graphics. I decided I would remake this animation using different assets and style.

Each scene was created with different layers built up for the actual composition. This was done to allow me to give depth to the piece through layer building.The textures can be added to layers inside of Adobe After Effects however I personally found it easier to do any texture work ahead of time in Adobe Illustrator.

Here are my individual 'scene' boards I created ahead of time in order to get an idea for composition and layout when transferred to Adobe After Effect:

This layout and style is simple and gives a fun feeling to an otherwise quite simple method, making quite simple shapes and imagery more motion.
