Recent Project: Darkspore!

This is a recent project that I worked on with fellow AnD member (and an old friend), Luke Harrington. This is a compilation of shots from in-game videos I produced for Darkspore, a sci-fi action RPG created by Maxis/Electronic Arts. A total of eight videos were featured in the game: one plays the first time the game is loaded, one before each of the six stages of the game and one upon completion of the game.Luke would create his digital paintings in Photoshop and then pass them to me. I would edit them a bit in Photoshop to merge and reduce the layers and then import them into After Effects. All animation was done within After Effects with the help of some incredibly useful tools from AEScripts, Digieffects, Trapcode and Video Copilot.Check it out!  Hope you enjoy it!

Luke did a bang up job. Everything looked great! Really fun project to work on. The game was released last week.

So did you make 3D models or did you just animate from his 2D artwork?

Animated from his 2D artwork. If you click through to the Vimeo page, there are some photos I posted showing a bit of the process. Photoshop layers are imported into After Effects where everything is animated.
