Galaxy Overdose

"Galaxy Overdose" is a '2.5D' animation experiment that merges 2D and 3D elements into a cohesive visual scene. Using After Effect's built-in 3D tools, I focused on creating realistic camera movements and depth to make each element feel grounded in space. Techniques such as layer duplication were used to simulate believable shadows and lighting, enhancing the illusion of dimensionality. Every asset was custom-designed in Adobe Illustrator specifically for this project, resulting in a dynamic, space-themed animation that bridges flat and dimensional visuals into one immersive experience.
