Astro 12

In 2008 I spent the whole year on project called Astro 12. It was a series of 12 DVDs, each one on a different sign of the Zodiac. Each DVD had about 5 minutes of animation in it that told a story from Greco-Roman mythology. The original idea was not to animate it, but to have a stick puppet show; literally use cut outs and a little stage and film it live action. We ended up making it a digital stick puppet show in After Effects, thus the sticks sticking out of the bottom of the characters. These are the screen-shots.
