Photoshop animation workshop

Photoshop animation workshop

Working with Photoshop for animation isn't something I considered. While it is an interesting feature photoshop has. It's not a very practical one in comparison to actual animation softwares such as Adobe animate, Opentoonz and Clip Studio. The feature just seems to be shoehorned into photoshop and it is very obvious when using it. Through a testing of the feature, I used my knowledge of animation to make a second long sketch animation of a rocket taking off. I applied the 12 principles of animation shown by Jon onto the movement of the rocket and even included an impact frame. 

Overall, this workshop should definitely show us the power of animation, however i don’t think using photoshop in place of actual animation software was doing a good job in representing the full capabilities of animation.

The interface for animating in photoshop - I found it to be underwhelming
