Hollow Knight Animation
Daniel Cooper
Adobe After Effects / Illustrator
2024
For this animation project I wanted to create an animation inspired by a fight from one of my favorite games. So I made an action sequence that felt intense, and at some points funny. A lot of time was spent creating all of the different positions of the characters and weapons in Illustrator, but most of the work was tweaking all the movements in After Effects. The animation is more rough so there isn’t a detailed background but it demonstrates all the movements I wanted to show in a way that I believe gets the point across. I had a lot of fun playing around with After Effects and figuring out how to make this animation the best I could within the given time. Overall I think I achieved my goal of creating an effective action sequence that does justice to the source of inspiration while telling a very relatable story to anyone who has played the game, or one like it.
