Distant Star

2025, Adobe After Effects

This project follows a girl as she performs the story of a poem from her apartment. I utilized After Effects to blend and color grade the character and backgrounds to exist in a nighttime environment together. I also created various effect such as stars, blinking lights, shadows, rim lighting and parallax as needed to finalize the 2D animation.
