Creepy Crawlies
Illustration: @aralma_design
Animation: @sonjageracsek
This was a fun piece to create over multiple live stream sessions. I took this surface pattern created by Lara Mascareno, my creative partner in the #DistantCollab Instagram Challenge, during lock-down/social distancing and transformed it from a static design to an animation.
It was a lot of fun figuring out how I wanted all the characters to move, how much animation was too much and what was not enough.
I wanted to keep the original calm and mellow atmosphere intact but breath life into it, in the form of animation. I also wanted to integrate the pattern part of the design into the animation and keep it repeatable, which you will see on the second slide.
What do you think of the little bugs hanging out on this pond? Do you think the animation compliments Lara's design? Let me know in the comments and make sure to check out Lara's Instagram account.
