During the school year, we were taught about the extrude tool in Adobe After Effects and how it can be used to create simple 3D shapes. I wanted to create something more complex and exciting that displayed a strong understanding of the extrude tool.

Each side and shape of the hammer was created separately in Adobe Illustrator, then built and fully animated with the extrude tool in After Effects. Lighting and easing were added afterwards to give the hammer more dimension and display a full rotation.
