hey :).,,
The masking on there doesnt actually seem that complicated..mostly motion tweens, maybe a few frame by frames for intricate stuff.
Im assuming thats what youre saying is time consuming :)..
Im with you on that one..
If you use After Effects, Ive got some great results thusly:Make your shape in PS, using white-black gradients, embellishments cna be done using the stroke/path with a brush with opacity/step options set to draw shapes with even gradients..
Then, import as png into AE, and key frame the 'threshold' setting from 0 to 255 over some frames, adjust the layer style and voila !!...The shape 'draws' itself in the direction of the gradient..
Export as png sequence to Flash and vectorise.
Hope that made sense :).
I can post some files if you like :).Thanks,
Mike.
