3D style animation with a virtual camera and depth of field

In this project, I created a 3D-style animation using multi-layered 2D elements in Adobe After Effects combined with a virtual camera to simulate depth and perspective. By strategically placing elements in different layers of the Z space and animating the camera movement, I was able to achieve a dynamic parallax effect that brings the scene to life.

To enhance realism, I added custom-made shadows under the objects in a 3D style, emphasizing the depth and volumetric nature of the composition.
