From writing a script to animating keyframes, this longform tutorial goes deep into every stage of the process for creating an animated "explainer" style video with a cartoon narrator character. So this is a behind the scenes look at how I created the recent "Game Subscriptions Are the Future" video ( https://youtu.be/rzzXqKTC5bI ). We'll record and edit the audio in Audition, build our character in Photoshop, rig and animate him in Character Animator, and finally composite everything together in After Effects.
