The idea is simple: a monster spinning around inside a washing machine with socks, bubbles and bits of laundry tumbling around.

In this tutorial, I take the character from the previous video and turn it into a simple animation using Fresco’s Pose Tool, path animation, and frame-by-frame techniques. You’ll see how to: Fake movement quickly with the Pose Tool Use paths for gentle swaying and hovering Build frame-by-frame animation by duplicating and adjusting frames Stretch, squash, and exaggerate motion with Liqu...
