Be Brave is a personal project that blossomed from the inspiration derived from observing the imaginative world of my niece and nephew. These experiences are filled with magic and companionship, unique qualities that only sibling friendship can provide.
A quick sketch to define the style and stuffs
Here's a sneak peek of the process: preparing the background for animation and composition.
Vectorized characters: Ready to go!
Composition finished!
For this part, I divided the project into two sections: character rigging and background composition.
For the character rig, I prefer working with joysticks and sliders as it greatly helps in the workflow. It allows for more intuitive control and flexibility in animating the character's movements.
As for the background, I aimed to create a sense of depth in the scene, and for that, I decided to incorporate parallax effects. This technique adds a dynamic visual element by having different layers move at different speeds, creating an illusion of depth and dimension.
Some expressions that I used in rigging
A quick quick timelapse!
And here the finished animation with sound design by a good friend of mine Vini Krueger.
That's all folks! :)
