    Does anyone know of some current or recent-past cartoon productions (TV shows or shorts, in particular) that uses or used Photoshop/Illustrator and After Effects as the primary tools in their workflow?

    I’m doing Web searches in my research, too, but it would help if I could narrow in on particular shows. I seem to get a lot of tutorials and book listings more than show info.

    I should be a little more specific in what I’m looking for, I guess. I’m looking for productions that used Illustrator/Photoshop for designing and generating elements (character parts, background elements, etc.) and After Effects for animation and compositing.

    I’ll take shows that used Flash, too.

    I believe that Rex Crowle’s GRIP WRENCH series is animated in after effects.

    Aqua Teen Hunger Force is drawn with Photoshop, animated with After Effects and cut in FCP. I think Metalocalypse is also animated with AE.

    As stated before me, Aqua Teen Hunger Force uses Photoshop, AE and FCP.

    Most of the more popular cartoons (Family Guy, The Simpsons, etc.) are all using Toon Boom Harmony, While South Park uses Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Motion for some added FX. (They Used to use CorelDRAW)
