Aetuts+ Hollywood Movie Titles Series: Cloud Atlas

In this tutorial, we’re going to be looking at the animation style from the movie Cloud Atlas. We will make this title style using Illustrator to prepare of all mask lines and the logo. Then in After Effects, I will show you an interesting technique to create the animation of the strokes as they grow and shrink. Also within After Effects, I will show you a very interesting trick for the gradual transition from day clouds to a stellar night sky.
