Rocket Icon
I love space exploration, and also love animations that loop. So here is my red rocket! I made it in flat icon style so that it would be easier to animate. Having no real depth gave me more creative room to transform the rocket’s paths into whatever shape I wanted. In this case, into a falling asteroid. The smoke and take-off were the most time consuming parts to do. I wanted give it a cartoony feel and so I did some animation smearing which is a frame by frame process. I also added motion lines to help exaggerate the rocket’s movement. I used CC particle world and dollied the camera in a 3D composition to simulate the falling stars, plus adding in a few of my own.
