Movement – bobsleigh animation

I used a similar process to before, designing my bobsleigh in illustrator starting off with simply drawing out the outlines.  I drew it 2d using a classic bobsleigh shape and added the two helmets so it was obvious the animation is about the people in the bobsleigh not just the bobsleigh itself.

I then added colour to the image, making predominantly red and orange to make it pop and stand out from the white background. I added multiple white lines behind the image and made them move from right to left throughout the animation to give the sense of the bobsleigh moving forwards at high speeds.

I didn’t think the bobsleigh looked like it was moving fast enough with just the lines moving in the background, so similarly to the rocket I added a trail out of the back which stays static, just to give a sense of speed.
