The brief

The Bazaar’s card illustrations feature merchant characters, unusual wares and magical items. The animation work brought that artwork into motion while retaining the character of the original illustrations.

My role

I animated the supplied card illustrations using Cinema 4D projection mapping, with compositing and visual effects in After Effects. The work combined movement within the artwork with effects suited to each card.

The approach

Each illustration offered a different focus: a character, an object or a magical element. Animation and effects were built around those details so the cards could move while still reading as the original artwork.
