I’m a huge Bookworm and I believe the people who allow their imagination to take over, can accomplish anything. I really wanted to create something that illustrated this and speak to the many people who love reading, and to those who don’t. And for those who believe bookworms can’t fly, well, we beg to differ.
For this concept, I began by storyboarding how the motion would play out in illustrator. Once I was satisfied with the idea, I began creating the elements in After Effects, animating the left half first, then the right. I added the “pop” effect for added impact for when the worm shoots into the book, to when he flies out as a bookfly. In the end, you have this seamless animation.
