I'm a martial artist and an artist. I'm just now getting into animation and have been trying to film my own stuff. It's hard. Lots of work.
​Motion lab is incredible!!! There is no way this isn't useful for all illustrators and animators.

The Drawing Interface is perfect for beginner animators like me I'm an illustrator so it's gonna take me through frame by frame easier

This is brilliant, it’s not just a pose library: it’s an innovative tool to help artists achieve animation through a technique that’s already familiar but it’s elevated by the production values & the experience of everyone working on the project

These made my life so much easier and is pushing me to actually animate thanks Howard and partners!
