New York City artist Wahyu Ichwandari (a.k.a. “Pinot“) has created an incredible series of animated Instagram videos where his drawings of characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens come to life. Wahyu has shared behind-the-scenes information about his design process on Behance.

Making a series of fan-made mini trailer from Star Wars – The Force Awakens trailer into 6 sec Vine & 10 sec Instagram (in HD format). Using hand-drawn animation technique, combined with stop-motion real objects.

For frame-by-frame camera movement, I’m using Logitech HD cam attached to Arduino + stepper motor, controlled on Dragonframe software via DFMoco script.

It's true. All of it. (HD version) Brush: Kuretake no 8 fountain brush. #starwars #animation #illustration
