PROJECT 1

For this project, we're required to recreate a surrealistic painting in Photoshop using our own photos, then animate it using After Effects. I chose a painting by Rafal Olbinski because most of the elements could be found easily.

We were strongly encouraged to use our own photos for this assignment in order to avoid any copyright issues in the future. The photos below are the original photos that I used.

The next step was to animate the image. I saved each element as separate PNG files, then imported them into After Effects. After rendering the video, I had to export it back to Photoshop to convert it into a looping GIF.
