A short animation piece created to showcase Sarah Khorbtli's poster under the same title, which was part of ICD Brookfield Place's latest poster exhibition.This was my first personal animation project since 2020, it was a period filled with frustration and turmoil in my home country and the region. Sarah’s poster spoke to me and compelled me to create this animated vision of her original artwork.
The mighty tree was the main element of the poster, and by far the element that required the most attention and work, especially since I wanted to animate it using the exact same leaves and shape of the original design, so cloning leaves wasn't going to cut it. Separating each leaf required developing a tiny Photoshop script to separate layers based on 'Pixel Islands', and it worked flawlessly.
