Used a recent fluid sim rendered sequence as a track matte for the colour reveal Used wiggle expression on ‘Twist’ and ‘Offset Paths’ Modifiers of the shape layers. ”Convert Vector to shape layer” command (After Effects CC). Separated elements into individual layers as required. I drew the artwork in Illustrator using Pen tool, modified paths with variable stroke tool to get the look desired. It is an attempt to achieve a ‘hand drawn’ 2D animation style using After Effects. This is a short animation test that was created in 45 mins for a recent project pitch.
