Background art for animation

November 16, 2007 by mfearing

This is a low res of a piece of background art for an animated project I am working on. This has the animation layer set atop. It is used with a pan and slight push in at the end (in After Effects CS3 - I LOVE it!). Finished and painted in Photoshop from rough hand sketches.

Wow! The second guy from left is great! Love the expression of his suspicion and afraid of being queue-overtaken by the others!

BTW it reminds me (a bit not-so-appropriate word as I was only a youngster at that time with no possibility to remember well and fully comprehend the situation) of the times (fortunately, now being only a history) when queues, like that presented above, were normal everywhere for everyone.

Thanks. It’s an opening shot in the animation so I wanted it to have an impact, being serious and entertinaing at teh same time. Found some great photos on the web of the old depression era lines like this.

I can only say: a homework that was done perfectly!
