Made In Abyss 2.5D Animation
Taking the original art from the anime, Made in Abyss to animate a diorama like scene. Using Photoshop to separate the foreground and background of the original image and then using the clone stamp tool to fill in the empty space left from cutting out the foreground. The hair and cape were animated using the puppet tool in After Effects. By pushing the background in Z space, it gave the image a 3D like appearance as the camera revolves slightly around the picture.
