Behind the Lemurs - Creating an Illustrated Talk
summary
Shows concrete workflow and deliverables: ideation with index cards and a CFP outline, storyboarding that yields 200+ slides, full digital art on iPad with matte screen protector and Adobe Fresco, layered Keynote builds with reusable backgrounds and concept highlighting for code. Timings are explicit — 10–15 minutes per simple character, 5–6 hours for a scene, roughly 100 hours of work — and examples demonstrate what gets built and how those slides and animations actually behave in a live 30 minute slot.
