Hi guys!

I am wanting to animate something similar to this: https://www.giantant.ca/happy-holidays

https://www.giantant.ca/happy-holidays

First, and foremost, is this possible with After Effects? If not, what do you think Giant Ant's technique is?

Secondly, I just really want those awesome grainy textures in the shapes! However, I like to animate sort of frame-by-frame with RoughAnimator on my ipad and then upload it onto AE as a mov. layer. Can I just do a preset to add texture inside my frame-by-frame layer?

Thanks!

From Giant Ant's website, it looks like they use After Effects and Cinema 4D:

3D GENERALIST

You're an artist, but also a bit of a nerd. You're good at things like modelling and shading and animating and you're used to planet mo-graph where you're not in a tiny silo on one part of the assembly line. C4D and Octane are weapons you don't shy away from. You're keen to make 3D things that look like 3D things, and also 3D things that help us make 2D things feel more special. You might even know your way around some code; you're a nerd, remember?

2D ANIMATORS

You're kind of a big After Effects deal. You've been around the metaphorical block. You can make balls bounce. You can make cubes bounce, even; you're that good. You can comp them to bounce anywhere your heart desires, using an expression or two to do it. You might even know some cel. That'd be nice, too.

As for grain:  Apply Noise and Grain effects in After Effect

If you email them, they'll probably get back to you.  They seem like a friendly group.
