    Just incredible! I just made the decision that I want to do illustration animation. I already do graphic design and hand-illustration, but it's so overwhelming when you're just starting out, so many softwares, things to learn, and just being blasted with information. Your videos not only give me inspiration, but give me an idea of process from start to finish, and hope that I can one day achieve my own animations. In the meantime I'll continue to learn the software and start making my own rudimentary animations, but these videos help to give me some structure :)
    THANK YOU!!!

      You're super welcome!! Like you said, I know everything could be so confusing and overwhelming when you just begin, so please take your time and try not to put any pressure on yourself! Please feel free to ask away if there's anything I could help :)

    How are the pupils set up? Were they designed that way in illustrator to stay within the eyes? Or was it completed in after effects? Thanks! Love your videos!

    Is there any room for layer optimization in a project like this? I feel like a bit more could be precomped here so that you aren't having to deal with such an imposing mass of layers in the same comp.

  • @davidp158

    Thanks for sharing your workflow on this artwork. Regarding the posterize time effect, would setting this at 12 FPS instead of 12 1/2 FPS cause any issues? I understand the basic concept of the posterize time effect, but haven't worked with it yet.
    Any thoughts about animating artwork like this in Adobe Animate vs After Effects? Is there a "set matte" effect in Adobe Animate?
    Cheers.

    Quick Question Ben:
    I work in Illustrator and then when I import my artwork into After Effects I always convert to shape layers.
    I know you'll lose Johan's grads if you did on this occasion, but is there any benefit to me converting to shape layers ever?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @Sandeep-cz7ls
      @Sandeep-cz7ls 5 років тому +1

      I think converting the vector layers to shape layers means you can edit them with pen tool, with just retaining vector layers doesn't allow you that? Not sure tho

    • @hybrid3d
