After Effects cutout project

I've been starting work on an After Effects project right now doing a scene from a made up story about a girl living in some haunted woods. The mood I'm trying for is dark and creepy, and the style that I'm planning to use is a hand-drawn, cutout style.

Here are some examples of cutout motion projects that I like (all done by Jamie Caliri):

Lemony Snicket's credit sequence (read underneath the video for the 'making of')
United Airlines Dragon Commercial
United States of Tara Opening

The last two were actually done using real cutouts with stop motion, but I'll be working digitally in After Effects (similar to the Lemony Snicket's sequence). I'll try to do another post with my initial artwork and boards for the project.

Also, here is a link to a bunch of interviews on Forget the Film, Watch the Titles. They interview some really cool people including Jamie Caliri, Danny Yount, etc.
