Motion Designer Sam Burton shared how he crafted a creative traffic light animation, in which a luminous little guy decided to have fun instead of signaling the traffic.

The artist started with a sketch in Procreate and proceeded to After Effects; then, he modeled the traffic light in Cinema 4D and polished the work in AE again. According to Burton, the animation is a personal project made in his spare time. It was even demonstrated on a billboard in New York as part of the Art Innovation exhibition.

The creator’s portfolio features many vibrant works crafted in After Effects and Cinema 4D. Check out some of them:
