This project involved taking the newly released hearthstone cards and animating the art to create my own "golden card" (cards that also have animated art within the game) designs. I used Photoshop to isolate the art and separate each layer that I would then animate within After Effects.
At the beginning of this project I assumed that this method was similar if not the same to that method which is used by Blizzard to create their golden cards, but I've recently learned that it is more likely they use shaders and other effects within Unity, rather than Photoshop and After Effects, although the desired end result could be achieved with either of the programs.
All in all this has been a rewarding project to undergo, as it pushed me as a motion designer to animate within the typical stylings of other Hearthstone golden cards while maintaining my own individual style.
