The Moving Landscape

I utilized the effects of Photoshop, using a blur tool to blur the colors in the night sky and a variety of brushes with added effects such as luminosity to make the stars and the moon have a hint of a glow in the background. I added dog-like creatures to howl at the moonlight. I used a thin brush to try and make thin, nimble, creepy trees and used a chalk-like brush to add the spotted textures to the trees and a transparent dark grey to add in the shadows.
Then, once I uploaded it to After Effects, I moved each layer over at different time rates to make sure that each layer moves at it's own pace. I then used the Puppet Pin tool to make the three dogs howl by moving their snouts up and their ears back. The challenge mainly for this animation was to correctly time the moving of the backgrounds. But I am proud of what I did to make this look beautiful and I'm proud to say this is my own animation.
