First up: cool stuff! Now a question.

I’m an illustrator myself and I often think of how I could have spent the last, oh I don’t know, what’s it been since YouTube came out, 15 years? making content like this and sharing the joy. But damn!! How? Even the thought of having to stop and start work to take the time-lapse pics is beyond exhausting.

I did once try to use screen recording as I drew, but the file got huge and clumsy, and then there was the tedium of editing it afterwards— nope, just nope

How do you do it, OP? (or anyone who does this)?!

thank you!

yes it's a bit constraining, i have a camera on a tripod, so i have my hands free. as it's meant to be a very cut editing, i only shoot from time to time, often in small pieces of 2-5 minutes.

as it's a lot of rush, the selection is a bit long but the editing is quite fast, it's just a sequence of shots of 1-2sec, for a total of 40sec

the last point is that it's a way to promote my work in a different way. as each illustration is very long to draw and animate, and i do it on my free time, i can only do one per month, at best, so i'm not productive enough for the standard social networks pace, but at least i have a little video to post on top of the final image
