Into The Woods



Into The Woods- this stunning piece of animation is 100% 2D, even though it achieves some 3D elements. The program used to make this music video is called ToonBoom Animate Pro (2) and it uses multiple layers to achieve depth of felled effect. Into the woods was directed and animated by Adan Phillips who is a freelance animator and tutor.

The animation in the video is based around the song by Cilla Jane ‘into the woods ‘from her album “Until Moring Comes” and the song is about the tree key stages of that we all go through life and they are repented to us, as children the wise owl guiding us, as teens and the fox keeping us safe, and as adults the dear shows us the path and that we no longer think feel or act like a child.

Because the animation was based around the song, the story protrude works really well and it’s enjoyable to watch. I enjoy the characters design and their animation, mainly the when the fox appears out from the shadows and circles the girl. Keeling in mind it’s a 2D layered animation and this turn around part achieved a stunning 3D effect.
