Frame 2 Frame Animation

Animation in Photoshop

This is the very first video that I could find on YouTube. It's a very basic video showing how the frame by frame animation works. I didn't find it difficult because I have already taken 2D Animation classes, and the process is similar to that. The video used basic frame by frame method and also onion skinning to keep the track of the object.

This video is also a basic tutorial but instead of using onion skinning he uses the duplication of layers and later deletes it. The video also suggests that if you want color or any other object in the video, then just add it from the beginning because, later it's gonna be difficult as you have to add that in all the frames. I liked the way he made his animation 3dimensional, but I think making different dimensions and keyframes would have been difficult.

This video is a very detailed example which focuses more on the background, colors and also perfection. I really liked how she worked on details. The way she edited part by part in every frame was really clever. I think it would have taken a lot of thought and time to create this.
