Create a rendered scene in Photoshop which features elements that can then be animated in After Effects following the brief-
“It’s 2026, You have just landed your dream job at a studio you always wanted to work at. Make your desk area your own.”
Done in both Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop- some assets look unfinished or are missing (e.g. fans on the pc) as it could be duplicated when importing into After Effects.
Just mapping out the composition and ideas that I wanted to include. It was a bit challenging to work with perspective, however, I used the CSP perspective ruler to aid in keeping it consistent, though didn’t always work as I wanted. I’d like to work on this in the future.
This is where I began separating and organising the layers in terms of hierarchy and what I wanted to animate.
Shadows were done with Multiply layer types and stronger highlights were done with Colour Dodge. Other renders were painted on top of the flat colour layer.
