Baka Yaro

This video was an assignment in my After Effects class at SFSU. It includes techniques using blue screening, compositing, and rotoscoping. The programs used to create the special effects were After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop.
My goal was to make a movie trailer in Japanese that didn't make any sense what-so-ever. My inspiration came from late night television promos on the asian channels that have the same effect.
