Okay, I may have gotten carried away up there, but it was asking for it. This is perhaps the most complex animation I’ve done yet, we’re talking 173 layers at 30fps, the first segment (out of four) done from scratch while the last three painstakingly recreated the effects frame by frame, a grand total time of 10 hours just to make a 6 second animation on Photoshop.

To see the details in high-res, I’ve uploaded the video files in 1080p and 720 quality.
