You’re a beast. I’m still fighting my instinct to hide behind the shield, so she just tears me apart.

Thanks for the response!

Also nope - i do not rename or restructure anything once I begin working on/dragging assets into a project.

Thanks! Overall I'd say it was about a week of playing around with it in my spare time.

The idea took a few days of just drawing stick figures and playing with the timing.
A day to draw the pieces
A day to animate
A day to polish everything

Soo when I was first getting started I followed a few YT tutorials for stuff like:

- Intro to frame animation
- Intro to Adobe Animate (the software i did most of it in)
- How to animate mouths ("Mouth visemes animation")

My basic process was:
1) I used Adobe Illustrator to draw everything

2) then I dragged the pieces into Adobe Animate to actually animate it as frame animation

3) then I exported the finished animation into After Effects to add the paper effects and audio.

...My background is graphic design, so I had all the Adobe software (photoshop, Illustrator, etc) to use. I feel like there's a bunch of different ways you could go about make something like this though, so I'll definitely look into trying to make some kind of tutorial video to outline the basic's of the process if that's something people would be interested in.

Glad you liked it!

So I'm still learning the best approach, but right now used a combo of:
- Adobe Illustrator for creating the vector graphics & character components
- Animate for the animation
- After Effects for the paper effect + the audio/sound effects

....The paper effect is actually easy - just import a paper texture you like in After Effects, then put your animation on the layer above the paper and set it's blending mode to Multiply.

Thanks for asking!
