SARA / Motion Loops, the Wiggler, Expressions/ A moving image portrait

We were asked to create a man with illustrator. Every part of man which we wanted to be moving should have been in different layers. As nowadays hipsters are very fashionable creatures, therefore, I decided to draw ginger guy with moustaches and pipe ( because it is so hipster ) .

the first experimentation did not make me happy:

Some shortcuts from the lesson:

t = transparency
p = position
r = rotation
s = scale
a = anchor point
u =  to show key frames

                                     

This video I wanted to make very simple , without many movements. The best decision was to make pipe which would have smokes coming out of it. After making some movements, I chose three different textures for different parts of the animation and overlay it on certain layers using Track Alpha Matte. And that is final outcome with some still typography ( A gentleman is simply a patient wolf).
