Animation, After Effects, 1999.

This animation builds on simple images created in Illustrator and Photoshop, and with simple type. The pennants were created in Illustrator, then exported to Photoshop where a mask was made of the three pennants layered on each other. The blue sky is another Photoshop effect. In After Effects, the three-pennant image was used as a travelling matte so that the clouds could "drift by" inside the mask. The individual pennants were each animated for size, motion, rotation, and 3D rotation. The "IP" letters were animated for motion and skew, with the skew manipulated to let them "slide to a stop." The lower letters were individually animated for opacity, with the final letter being "tossed in as an afterthought" (motion, rotation, and motion blur).
