High Seas - 2.5D Flythrough

Last week I made a 1 minute compsition using HighC - a free, standalone, graphical music creation and composition software tool.

Basically, this program allows you to 'sketch' music.


I'd been playing around with the 3d tools on Photoshop a few weeks ago so I thought I'd make a small 3d animation to visually complement the music.


However, I was finding the 3d capabilities in Photoshop really limiting so I decided to give After Effects a go.

I had no idea what I was doing but after watching a couple of youtube tutorials I kind of got the hang of it.


I ended up with this weird little clip, exported it as an MOV, imported to premiere and added the music.

I found the biggest challenge was controlling the camera and lights - you can get lost surprisingly easy in 3d (technically 2.5D) space - its a little shaky but I'm pretty happy with it as a first go!
