The hair planes are then individually animated using After Effect’s Bezier Warp tool much like how it’s done in low poly 3D models. Once they are animated together, the keyframes are then offset very slightly (by just about 1 frame) against each other to simulate a more varied movements.

Two additional hand-drawn in-betweens are also added to create the tumble.

Additional shedding hair added using Particular plug-in.
