Hey, with the summer winding down, I took a creative side quest this week thanks to Skillshare and created a #SideQuestSummer animation. I have always loved adding quirky and simple animations to vacation photos. And I thought it would be fun to share my process to help you bring your summer experiences to life.

In this tutorial, I'll walk through my simple on the go creative process for adding movement to static images. We'll walk through:

  • Planning out your animation
  • How to layer subtle animations over your own photography using the Flipbook mode
  • How to utilize tools like Transform to add more advanced movement
  • And how to use frame animation to create a wave animation
