Apollo 10 1/2 was released on April 1st 2022 on Netflix and is my first official animated movie credit. Below are some examples of animation, rotoscoping and compositing I did on the film for Minnow Mountain Studio in Austin, Texas.
Characters all composed in one TvPaint file. Extensive use of layer masks and keyframer for tracking paths of characters.
An example of the character assets I created while working on Apollo 10 1/2. Many variations on one animation could be achieved simply but changing the colors of the outfits and sometimes their heads.
A shot of the AstroWorld theme park in Houston. For this characters where all tracked on separate layers as many of them overlap and cross paths.
Extensive use of the Keyframer tool in TvPaint along with Path Recording for some of the assets in this shot.
