Illustrator Elements complete

I have completed all of my illustrator vector elements based on the list with a few adjustments, ready to be animated in After Effects

More Inspiration

I found some more animation websites that don't really have the same style as what I am going for, but are still very motivating

Inspiration

I have found my main source of inspiration, "TARBOY"'s website containing other inspiring animations by the same animator

Plug-in Research

After discovering the possibilities of plug-ins, I have looked up a resource that I might use later within my project to make cool effects

Camera Research

The camera tool will play a large role in my project apparently, so I have done some research and found some tutorials to help

Background Colour Options

At first I was planning to have a flat yellow background, but thought it would be best to look at other options. After seeing it on screen, yellow might not be the best choice. I am liking either green or grey at this point.

Vector Elements

I have begun to make the vector elements in Illustrator to then import into after effects

*remember*
Don't import as footage, import as layers
