Process Breakdown
The cinemagraph shown above was created to introduce a new machine to Game of Thrones Slots, starring Meleys, who became available to players for a limited time. Meleys' body was segmented and animated using After Effects' Puppet Tool, then layered on top of the other scene elements. I used Turbulent Displace to simulate waves in the water, and a light fog to separate the background from the middle ground. I was able to heighten her dramatic entrance by adding a lens flare after the sun glare, and a slight impact shake as she soared past the camera.
Similar to the Meleys cinemagraph, the Sunfyre post to the left was created to announce a new season in Game of Thrones: Legends. The animation was fairly simple in its construction and kept the rewards as the focus.
