IT APPEARS THAT YOU ANIMATE MOSTLY IN PHOTOSHOP. HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT THIS TECHNIQUE AND CAN YOU COMPARE IT WITH OTHER TOOLS YOU’VE USED TO ANIMATE
“I do animate solely in Photoshop for the most part. It’s mostly out of habit and comfort. Photoshop is really familiar to me and I saw people on the Internet messing around with ‘video layers’ and it stuck with me pretty quickly when I tried them out. It is a bit clunky at first and there is a lot of tedious work around for stuff that you can do really easily in Flash but I love how much control and brush variety the program has.”
