A project Tina Equels ( http://tinaequels.blogspot.com ) and I are working on together. She painted three thumb nails and we chose one of the three to animate.

 We chose B and she broke the Photoshop file into layers that I brought into After Effects to animate.

All the layers are 3D so I can move them in 3 dimensions to give the illustration depth and movement. We plan on having smoke rising from the pond as leaves blow by and smoke creeps across the screen.
