Designer Frederic Kokott uses Illustrator and After Effects to create a beautiful, animated portrait of an unnamed city.

This vivid new animation 'Mirage' was created by video and sound designer Frederic Kokott (opens in new tab). Using abstract and geometric forms, Kokott brings an unnamed city slowly into focus in the four-minute short.

Featuring flat colours and simple shapes, the designer used Adobe Illustrator (opens in new tab) and After Effects (opens in new tab) to bring all the elements together. The talented artist also composed the film's beautiful soundtrack.
