Animation Stuff: How to Make the Sunrise

Hi, I'm Andrea Gerstmann! In this video I show you how to make an animated sunrise using Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. I start with a painting of a farm already done, if you want to know how painted the farm check out my other video: • Animation Stuff: How t...
I'm an artist and animator working in TV animation. I sometimes create short animations completely by myself, and often get asked how I make them. Animation Stuff is a series of videos where I takes you through how I achieve different parts of the animation process.

What the fuck lady? I am completely mesmerized by ALL of your videos and shocked that I could find this one 2 years after you posted. Extremely great content, superb quality work. Sad that Gravity Falls is over, otherwise you would definitely get a spot on the show. Keep up with the awesome work. You rock!

[@0xRah]

it's amazing if the shadows move too

[@magicmoonart]

I’m only a beginner in animating and so I found this to be too complicated for me right now but I enjoyed watching you do this.

[@helpmeaidezmoi]

It was sooo helpful ! Thank you so much. It pushed me to draw backgrounds, wich is quite difficult to make me do!

[@AndreaGerstmann]

You did something you avoid, that's so exciting! Those are the greatest hurtles as as artist. I used to never want to do backgrounds either until I learned a few things that made them exciting to try. Sometimes that thing you avoid turns out to be a major missing puzzle piece.

[@helpmeaidezmoi]

Andrea Gerstmann Totally! And i ended up enjoying this process !

[@ishita4810]

this is really awesome!!! I want more like this

[@darkkartist]

thankyou so much for this and I love your voice

[@anilkumarn8879]

Hello Andrea Gerstmann Thank u once again.,,,,,,.............

[@Finnishia]

Amazing as always, but I feel that when the sun rises the stars disappear too quickly. I think its more gradual, but I might be wrong of course and it might change based on where in the world you are?

[@AndreaGerstmann]

I just did whatever I thought looked okay, I'm definitely not an expert. I know dawn and dusk last longer the closer you are to the north or south poles because the sun travels closer to parallel to the horizon rather than close to perpendicular near the equator that makes the sun rise and set rather abruptly.

[@Finnishia]

Andrea Gerstmann I was thinking along the same lines, I live in Finland so that propably explains my view :)

[@leonkrpd]

Amazing. You may have covered it in another video, but what is the size for the psd art you export to use for animation? I use Toon Boom Harmony, and my imports often get pixelated when I zoom in. I couldn’t hit subscribe fast enough after this video. I am going to absorb your channel! I want my backgrounds to be this awesome.

[@AndreaGerstmann]

If you are zooming in on a background you need to make a rectangle around the most zoomed in part and make sure that section is at least 1920x1080 pixels for it to not be pixelated. I usually make my whole background 8000x4500 and that's usually big enough for most zooms.

[@leonkrpd]

Andrea Gerstmann thank you! That’s one of the big questions no one ever made available.

[@STARmod]

Im here again! :D

[@grandemations]

live it

[@alpha8here]

4 disliker are those who think they can make something better than you. or those who can't even draw a straight line.

[@jakewhiston6461]

This is a tutorial for the intro of gravity falls lmao

[@Laser2017]

The sun and the moon should be the same size.

[@l1mewaxer]

Not in cartoon world.

[@AndreaGerstmann]

you are correct, but if I made the moon the proper size it would be so tiny. I took some artistic liberties and made it huge.

[@JackScrot]

could you do no background music or much quieter music in the next one? i struggled to watch this, but the content itself was really interesting

[@Jalhere]

Amazing

[@sumanthshetty96]

Awesome stuff!
