Evangelion Unit 01

Inspired by one of my favorite pieces of Japanese media, Neon Genesis Evangelion, I wanted to flex my character animation skills by studying the anatomy and posing of the show’s central mecha units. Japanese Anime as an influence is growing in popularity with young generations, and I see more use of the style in the future as they grow older.

What if After Effects had an anime opening?

Originally, I had intended this project as a meme post for social media. The above animation was created purely to create Behind the Scenes footage for this meme.
