I’ve been using a ChatGPT sidekick to create expressions for After Effects, it’s amazingly powerful. I wouldn’t know how to do anything remotely like this or the all important ‘search term’ required to make something like this. Was an absolute doddle.

Some #c4d and #deepglow for an animation test. Followed by some bts in the thread.

Some more joysticks n sliders work. This time using just layers and masks in AE. I used a 3D head to get the parallax right.

Totally worth messing about to bring to life Dan Soder’s Macho Man impression.

Quite a range of movement available with enough forethought.

Here’s Jesse Ventura wriggling around in real time in After Effects.

And then why not a 3D head?… so here are the previs just grinding around each using a joystick.

Fraser Davidson @frazdav.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
But then, why not attach pre-rendered limbs also?

Fraser Davidson @frazdav.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
A while back I had an idea to use joysticks n sliders to animate prerendered 3D elements of a character. You can see the 2D limbs pinned to a 3D torso here.

Been playing with Spline make little interactive 3D scenes.

A far less charming 3D version.

Awesome 80s and 90s car liveries. Can you name them all?!

Here is the final piece! All cars rendered in after effects for infinite quick render permutations!

Fraser Davidson @frazdav.bsky.social · 01/12/2024
You can see how the car runs along and tangentially to a spline.

Started rendering a whole track in 3D, perhaps that could move a little too?

Fraser Davidson @frazdav.bsky.social · 01/12/2024
Added cars and tyre effects and smoke etc plus more cars!

Fraser Davidson @frazdav.bsky.social · 01/12/2024
I started making a piece a while back that controlled the rotation of a car ‘sprite’ on a track.

Half painted test shots from the factory. Tremendously exciting stuff for www.instagram.com/goldeneraofw...

I’ve been making things from simpler times. As is my way.

How niche is this place? Any fans of 3D printed, hand painted wrestling action figures 1987-1993? No? Though not.
