How do you get to Wonderland?

Inspired by the concept art of Mary Blair, the Alice project came out of a practice exercise with 3D layers in After Effects. On this page you can see my first pass and later developments on the project. Want to learn how to get to Wonderland? Scroll through and see my process to get there.

Pass One

This version being a practice at 3D layers sprung a seed of an idea, I show this version to showcase where the project begins.

The Moodboard

When creating the first version, the mismatched style left something to be desired. When conducting visual research for the project, I found a plethora of information in the concept artwork for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland by Mary Blair. Her compositions, color, and overall style seemed like a perfect fit for this project.

Here you see my mood-board with many references to Mary Blair’s work, some expressions by Sirjana Kaur, and color inspiration by Liz Roache Art.
