In this interview with Sarah Drasner–Senior Interaction Designer at Fauna DB and general front end developer who wields her magic wand over the Greensock GSAP animation library–we discuss:
- Sarah’s background as both a front end developer and scientific illustrator
- SVG Animation Benchmarks for GSAP, CSS3 @keyframes, SMIL, and Velocity.js
- Sarah’s process for storyboarding the scenes in to animated timelines, from creation to animation implementation
- “step animation” (animating by drawing a series of images) versus animation via interpolation
- Working solo vs. working with a team; and also animations that are practical for business vs. those that are “weekend art pieces” and why both are important
