The cool kids
This project is from 2018 and started as an endeavor to improve my skills in character animation, specifically focusing on walk cycles. I created a series of walk cycles, which I later combined into a short film.
I learned a lot along the way about the mechanics behind a character’s gait, as well as some new plugins for After Effects in the process.A couple of years later, ‘Cool Kids’ was stolen by someone who wanted to sell NFTs and it subsequently went viral. Fortunately, the Motion Design community quickly discovered this and put a stop to it. It was a strange kind of compliment that affirmed for me that personal projects can be something special.
