I finished what I wanted to do with this so here it is : D I spent quite a long amount of time animating these 3 seconds. I want death but I'm quite happy with it. I def had my fair share of beginner mistakes and regrets though. I've been messing around with a lot of animation programs the past two months, and I've finally landed on liking Blender and its workflow for 2D animation the most and that's what I used to make this one. : ) The lens flare effect was added post export via Adobe AE and the gif from video was made with Premiere : ) There's lots I want to learn how to do still but for my first test animation, I'm okay with a simple bg pan and some hair movement and light effects ^^
