In this video I show how you can use the plastic tool to manipulate an image drawn on a single level, in a single column, to look like a cut out animation that normally takes up a number of columns and more difficulty in setting up.
Once you get the hang of it, setting up a small animation using this method takes very little time at all. Give it go yourself and see how easy it is.
