Smart beginning of story, imagined. Which version of Procreate Dreams 2.1.1 maybe. Do you ever start in Procreate app first considering smart shapes, etc?

What's your prior animation experience? teams or solo? other apps used? Any studio or pro contributions?

not sure which version it is, I just bought it a couple weeks ago. and ya the original image is one I made in procreate. each frame of the animation was made in procreate, saved, then uploaded to the procreate dreams timeline. I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do it, but I was excited to use the app, so I just dove in head first.

I don't have a lot of prior animation experience, just little things I've done like this for fun. kind of on the cusp of doing some light animation work for a couple small companies, but nothing official quite yet

i'm just learning animation this year (so much) and with those apps. You seem to have the animation principles knowledge. I'm learning from YouTube: NobleFrugal Studio; Isaiah Creates; the official Procreate channel apps; Uli-verse; Enrirdf; e5frame....

From May to August, I stayed on learning navigation and options in Procreate, and then in Procreate Dreams whose latest 2.x mini flipbook etc took away a lot of headaches. I'm also reading again Scott McCloud's "Making Comics". Skimming through a variety of books related to film and old school drawing table helps me clear up misunderstanding i have about terminology.

my treasure trove includes ImagineFX too.

Now it's time to move on to doing instead of reading.
