Adobe Creative Jam Online 4th Place

This project was for the Adobe Online Creative Jam, I used a lot of the ipad apps to complete this project. The quote we had to work from was "You need the dark in order to show the light" . I sketched out a tree and made it look like a torch. The torch and tree symbolize life, while also symbolizing an end to things,.

2nd revision of the tree animation, I incorporated more brush screen recordings to create the tree.

1st Animation iiteration of the tree.

Still from Animation

Sketched out tree, thought combining it with a torch would be a cool idea for the theme.

I wanted to create a detailed tree in a short amount of time, so I sketched out pieces of the tree so that I could creat custom brushes to draw it out in Adobe Sketch.

I imported the handrawn sketches into Adobe Photoshop Fix and croped them.

I desaturated and increased the contrast on the textures.

This allowed me to mask out and isolate the different textures to import into Adobe Brush.

Brushes I created based on my sketches.

I found an image of a torch online, and drew the various parts of the tree over the torch to keep the silougete intact.

I then screen recorded water color brush strokes to use as mask to reveal the differnt parts of the tree.

I comped all the various pieces in After Effects to animate the tree in.

I used Particular to create leaf embers to add to the torch effect.
