Plantage
This little piece of animation was one of the sent to me by Jaclyn (thanks!) with the suggestion that I watch it. I was amazed at first by the quality of the animation. Then I realized these were all just photoshop images with lots of layering and an added transparent alpha layer. Then I took a closer look, I was amazed. Again. I saw little creatures everywhere, branches that seemed to come right out of the photoshop images, and waves around. They were obviously photoshop images, some so tiny you could barely see them. Fades were the most used transition. Subtlety is key with this animation. The audience is more surprised at how much they missed than with how much they saw.
