I was commissioned to create an animation for the trailer promoting the Nespresso Talents Vertical Film Festival. The brief was to create an imaginative, otherworldly cityscape viewed from a rising perspective, evoking the sensation of ascending through a futuristic city in a glass elevator.
I illustrated the environment in Adobe Illustrator, then brought the artwork into After Effects as layered elements. By animating the layers at different speeds, I created a parallax effect that gave the cityscape depth, movement and the illusion of travelling upwards through the scene.
The result was a vibrant, immersive visual that combined illustration and motion design to bring the concept to life.
