Character animation with Photoshop files

To create the illusion of a 3D turning head in the beginning scene, I used numerous masks and squashed the X-axis on various layers to make it seems my flat layers were dimensional.

Putting it together

After finalizing the short piece, I handed it to Chaski to put a song and sound FX. We stitched our scenes together and overlaid them to transition smoother.

Lessons learned

• Have a solid storyboard as well as style board (versus moodboard)
• Make each scene a composition and each have the same settings
• Be open to changing the storyboard - not everything ever goes as planned, for the better!
