From writing a script to animating keyframes, this longform tutorial goes deep into every stage of the process for creating an animated "explainer" style video with a cartoon narrator character. So this is a behind the scenes look at how I created the recent "Game Subscriptions Are the Future" video (    • Game Subscriptions Are the Future   ). We'll record and edit the audio in Audition, build our character in Photoshop, rig and animate him in Character Animator, and finally composite everything together in After Effects. Sections: 0:00 Intro 1:00 Part 1: Writing & Recording the Script 12:26 Part 2: Creating Your Character 26:46 Part 3: Rigging for Animation 50:21 Part 4: Performance Recording & Editing 1:23:27 Part 5: Supplemental Asset Creation 1:27:08 Part 6: Compositing in After Effects 1:34:23 Part 7: Animating in After Effects 1:48:10 Part 8: Render & Review 1:53:25 Outro Links: Narrator Dave puppet: https://okaysamurai.com/puppets/ Aud …...more
