A Midsummer Dream

This is the second in the set of two animations done as television bumpers for holidays that we were assigned in class. This one is an image based animation for the Summer Solstice. The idea is a juxtaposition of the solstice holiday in both the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as a use of a very spiritual animal, the bear in many cultures, to best represent the spirituality of the holiday, not necessarily the scientific importance. The assets were all built in photoshop and the animation is done in After Effects.
