It was really fun to work on, but also a bit of a challenge due to the textured stylings of the animation - which were inspired by the works of Eric Carle.
During the animation, the potato changes shape multiple times, which required me to illustrate each frame of these transitions to ensure they looked realistic (as realistic as a metamorphosing potato can look)!
I really enjoyed working with textures again, as I feel they add a nice homely feel to a piece of work; and it was nice to do some character design. I quite like my little potato character, and I actually felt sorry for him when he was upset in the animation.
I used a mix of Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash and After Effects to make this animation, it was great to get into Flash again as I haven't used it in such a long time, but having looked at a few After Effects tutorials, I would love to learn to animate in that program - it looks so slick!
So there we are, a potato animation! Whee!
