A looping frame-by-frame animation of a girl transforming into a star-shaped composition, combining playful motion and retro-inspired design.
STIRYBOARD/CONCEPT
Frame 1: The girl, wearing sunglasses, stands motionless against a patterned background.
Frame 2: Individual elements of the girl rotate into fluid, colourful, circular motions.
Frame 3: These components converge to form a star-shaped figure, evoking a playful, retro-inspired aesthetic.
WORKFLOW
The original assets were illustrated in Photoshop and imported into After Effects for the initial composition.
Frame-by-frame animation was developed in Adobe Animate, with each sequence rendered and brought back into After Effects.
The final loop was completed using posterised time and a reversed animation sequence to create a seamless, rhythmic loop.

OUTCOME
A dynamic looping animation that combines digital illustration with frame-by-frame animation, resulting in fluid motion and a light, playful tone. The project demonstrates an integrated workflow across Photoshop, Animate, and After Effects.
