Part 1 of Globe Pixel-Style Animation in Illustrator & Photoshop

In this video, we'll start working on a project to animate a pixel-styled globe in Illustrator. This seems pretty simple, but it could be quite cumbersome and time consuming. To deal with this, I'll show you a few shortcuts that can work, depending on what your aim is.

We will run into a few problems before the end, so we'll have to make a few changes before we compete the animation through a series of videos.
