Seeing a Design Move

I’ve been testing how some of my digital designs translate into motion. A still image can hide things that become obvious as soon as a character moves, turns, or gets closer to the camera.

For these tests, I’ve been aiming for the feeling of an actor in a film. Natural movement, believable skin, and consistent details matter just as much as the camera work. A simple look to one side can tell you a lot about whether the character is holding together.

One recent test came together especially well, and I was really happy with the result. It’s encouraging to see a design carry its personality into a short clip. I’m still experimenting, but this has been a fun part of the process.
