KAWAII NOT

"kawaii not" is a personal project based on the story and illustrations by Meghan Murphy and animation by me. Kawaii is the Japanese term for "cute". As in, "Look at the fuzzy kitten, he's so kawaii." And not is an English term that means "not." This is a combination of the two by riffing on the sweet and simple style of certain Asian character designs, and a wonderfully bizarre mess of it. This project shows my skills with basic animation in After Effects using key frames and effects.
