An experiment with moving collage.

The Pitch: A pair of hands navigate the world of color, interacting with objects across red, orange, green, and blue.


I was really inspired by Joseba Elorza’s use of collage as a setting,

and also Master Hand from Super Smash Bros.

Initially, I placed a text layer in the middle of a frame and arranged objects around it. While it looked cool, the large text and 1:1 aspect ratio made it tough to get strong compositions. Instead, I switched to a wider 16:9 ratio and focused more on the objects.

To make the hands change poses, I gathered a palette of identical hand images. Then I cut on action between the poses. I made the transitions seamless with a combination of position keys and puppet pins.

Puppet pins were used for subtle pose tweaks. I really had to consider how each pin would affect other pins and ended up doing a lot of clamping.
