Like a lot of animators, I learned Adobe After Effects through numerous online tutorials with varying amounts of success.
To test out some of the techniques I was learning I went back to one of my biggest inspirations, the original Twilight Zone series. I created these looping animations as kind of shortened versions of some of my favorite episodes. I tried to capture the unique twist or the irony of the 30-minute show in less than 30 seconds. What I found was that I learned as much about visual storytelling as I did animation.
