Mystery of flying
explainer video – 2D animation
Bird flight looks so simple, but this is caused by complex physics around the wing profile in the airflow. These processes are explained here in detail - easy to understand and in the context of an amusing little story.

Creation process
For the frame story I chose a cartoony visualization and used its style elements (strokes, colors, design) for the reduced representation of the physical processes. To animate all this vividly and bring it into a narrative flow with text elements was the challenge here.
I created all the preliminary work - character, bird and wings, flow processes - in ILLUSTRATOR and imported the paths into AFTER EFFECTS. This allowed me to animate all the elements down to the last detail. So a pure vector design, without a single pixel element. To render the air flow, I applied AE motion and alienation effects.
