Another hot Summer day

Today was a really hot day. A ridiculously hot day. That's quite unusual here, in Santa Barbara. Fortunately, we don't have skyscrapers; imagine what might have happened...



This was made in Photoshop and After Effects. I started with a stock image of a skyline (found on stock.xchng and a picture of one my girls holding a watering can. I isolated the buildings in Photoshop and placed them in 3D layers in After effects. I animated the buildings with the puppet tool, and the arm and the hand with keyframes. I followed this tutorial  for the clouds, and played with lights for the shadows and the sky colors variation. Finally, I used Audacity for the music, modifying a short excerpt of "Cripple Creek".
