For my animation, I wanted to create the impression of a first person view of someone filming a mystical environment where they gradually discover the nature of its inhabitants.

Once I had an idea for my animation, I created a storyboard featuring all of the scenes that I intended to include. To make the animation more engaging and mysterious, I decided to have slimes gradually appear as the camera pans.

Before working in After Effects, I illustrated the entire scene for the animation, with each element (leaves, trees, rocks, slimes, etc.) drawn individually in Procreate. Then, I imported all of them into After Effects to create the different layers needed for the parallax effect.
