    This was awesome. My one big advice is to design everything in Illustrator instead using closed paths and separate all your "animatable" parts into layers. This will import beautifully into AE and convert to shapes no problem.

    wow when i saw this i thought surely you had to go to photoshop to create some frame by frame motion at least..... but how you animated completely with shapes and vectors is crazy! This method seems so unnatural to traditional animating with strokes, but you did it so well. Really shows how software and techniques shouldn't limit you but just be treated as another tool for artists to experiment with. BIG THANKS for the insight!! I'm gonna try this out!!!!

      depends, roughs yeah you could do it in half the running time of the video, tie down , about the same as the realtime, but when you get to clean up no way. and color maybe 3 times as long, so usually you do your roughs, get you're big shape changes/keys, and do a little of both.

    • @scottjonsson6143
      @scottjonsson6143 3 ปีที่แล้ว +128

      In some ways it would be easier to draw it frame by frame, but it's less adjustable. If a client asked you to slow it down or speed it up in certain areas you'd have to do a lot of redrawing. With this I can just adjust keys. Also, if I wanted to extend the animation another few seconds, I could do it way faster than if I wanted to extend it a few seconds hand drawn.
