Relax – Week 02


Relax - Week 02

I have been very busy the past couple weeks, unfortunately not on my personal animation. On slow weeks such as this, rather than trying to stretch out a few scattered drawings, I will go into the techniques I am using to make the film. First I’d like to go over a recent addition to Photoshop, the timeline. It seemed rather odd to add a timeline but looking at the whole scope of Adobe’s product line, Photoshop is fast becoming the hub of Adobe’s catalog. The program you need to get any type of media done, which makes sense, the essential element of any piece of a graphic, film or software is the layout of the frame.

Down to the basics, why not Flash or After Effects?

Relax – Week 01

This update is the first weekly update on my short film “Relax.” Whether I will update once a week remains to be seen, but setting the goal is a good start.
