Few days ago I learned that some people create their animations in Photoshop! Shocking news for me really. Aside from animated gifs, PS didn't seem like a very useful animating tool. Yet, here is an artist, Alex Grigg, that uses solely PS for some of his animations.
After watching his tutorial... still not entirely convinced that it's a good animating tool. Though I can see his point that as far as visual art, you can do anything you like there, since it's, well, Photoshop. As long as you know how to make a drawing there, you can animate it. Just have redraw it about a thousand times. But I guess that's how most of animation is done anyway.
What I didn't like (at least at first) is the timeline. Seems cumbersome. And endless amount of layers that you have to create. He has his workflow all figured out though - uses actions a lot. Which definitely simplifies things quite a bit.
Might give a try some day.
Here is the tutorial.
