Transparency hack: wanted to share a trick that came in really handy while working on my Envato Challenge submission:
Edit a stock image's background with AI before downloading, set it to a chroma color, animate it, then key it out in post. Easy way to get transparency, even though AI exports don't come with it natively.
Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. 🎸🎤
Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls.
Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material....
Made this Sonic 35th anniversary animation just for fun - no client, no brief, just genuine love for the franchise.
Spent time actually playing through the games to get into the right headspace before touching After Effects. The colors, characters, the speed - wanted all of that to come through in the motion 🎮🦔
