A 30-second animation and motion sequence created for the Spanish Disney+ series Olivia, serving as a transition between a flashback and present day. I designed and animated the characters, 2D elements, and transitions in After Effects, modeled and animated the 3D tree in Blender, and built a custom AE controller to manage daylight and time-lapse progression. The final assets were then handed over to Sakura VFX for seamless integration and compositing into the live-action footage.
Depicting the passage of time
The main goal was to represent a flash-forward through a time-lapse animation. To achieve this, I illustrated various characters across different time periods and shifting seasons.
Behind the finished piece
Most of the animation was built in After Effects, where a custom slider controller was linked to all main light properties. This allowed me to transition seamlessly from day to night with total control over the speed and pacing of the lighting changes. The final tree was generated using geometry nodes in Blender 3D and then imported into After Effects, where the entire scene was composited and stylized with a custom color palette.
