In my animation, I wanted to use a simplified style and tell the story I wanted to use in the animation more clearly. I want the viewer to focus on the Mini Cooper's adaptable side so rather than using a more complicated style, I chose vector animation style. With that, I got rig of choppy lines and got clear stylized vector lines. In my animation, we start with black and white Mini and watch its journey through the different styles, in the end, we can see our main focus: Monte Carlo Race and as a finale, I wanted to touch the most sensitive and great side of it with is being suitable for families.
In the making process, I used my animatic as a guide and designed my assets which I animated in it.

I used Adobe Illustrator for my assets and mainly took the style of Kruzergast which is a YouTube channel that makes animation in vector style. While preparing my assets, I separated them carefully to be sure that I could animate the right things.
Imported these assets in After Effects and animated the scenes in seperate compositions and added them together in master composition.

I also didn't forget about the "easy ease" selection on them.

In this part, the "{" "}" hotkeys were helpful again.
Afterwards, I added the sounds from my animatic and made a few little changes.
