I've worked with Boxtape, an indie-folk duo hailing from Sussex (UK) before and was happy to return to their whimsical and colorful aesthetic. This time around they wanted a short intro animation and endcard for their Youtube channel. We stuck to their themes of music, nature and slightly odd colors and reworked the tones a little for a slightly more edgier mood.
To accommodate the different topics they cover on their channel (such as songwriting, music production, covers and originals) the intro comes with 3 different colored skies and an editable title for each episode.
This stop motion piece was composed in Photoshop out of a mixture of hand drawn and digitally colored layers, scanned paper and digital collage pieces. it was animated in After Effects.

The endcard, where Youtube makes it possible to insert subscribe buttons and links to other videos.
