>>2469876Thanks, a lot goes into every gif:
Prepping photoshop file with 5 copies of the image as separate layers
Cleaning up the pic (drool, dripping stuff)
Masking and naming every separate body part
Rigging the characters with the puppet tool
Start figuring out the motions and reactions from both bodies (lots of trial and error)
Precompose faces and add slight face movement
Refine with a second layer of puppet tool where I add a slight delay to create an inertia effect
Redraw whatever is under every body part that moves (quite a while in photoshop)
Add bulge VFX to move some body parts closer or further away and add depth
Adjust keyframes and time remap
Move the scene to compensate for original layers bounds (zoom in, zoom out)
Add filters and lighting effects
Render video and turn into GIF in Photoshop under 4mb
4 hours later a gif is posted here.
