Hi Roei,
 
I did one by first drawing a few small puffs and then animating a = really=20 small puff with those 3-4 hand drawn puff shapes.
 
I then pre-comped that animation and copied it many times but with=20 different rotations and timings so it doesn=E2=80=99t look symmetrical. =
 
It=E2=80=99s a bit different in style, but you can have a look here = at 00:51:
 
I was playing around with timing and opacity to get the look I=20 wanted.
 
Kind Regards,
 
Anders Sundstedt

but avoid doing it frame by frame in photoshop.

I think particular won't do and ae shapes give too symmetrical=20 results
for this type of animation.

(which from my research is the preferred technique for this type of = animation)
 
Thanks
