"Evenfall" odds and ends

I love combining the median filter and glow filter in Photoshop, so I got the idea to make a short film to show them off.

See the finished film here ~ LINK ~

Basically The characters were drawn with a thin white brush on an alpha channel, then a 1-5 median filter was applied, then the glow filter.



I didn't do much concept work on this one -- just dove right in. I was also animating Hacky Sack at the same time that I was animating Evenfall, so the faster I could get things done, the better.
