Zaphod for President

This 5-part tutorial will show you how I created the battle scenes in Warcrimes of the Heart, step-by-step, from sprite creation to final composition.

Here are the links to all the stuff you will need:

• Mortal Kombat sprites
• Super Mario Bros. sprites
• Download the project files here
  (including a PSD with everything already cut-out and ready to animate)

Part 1: Extracting heads and sprites in Photoshop

Part 2: Animating sprites in Image Ready

Part 3: Animating sprites in After Effects

Part 4: Adding camera movement to sprite animation in After Effects

Part 5: The 3D zoom effect in After Effects

I have no doubt that someone with talent and patience can use these techniques to make something way cooler than “Warcrimes”. I look forward to it. Feel free to link to your own animations in the comments below.
