I experimented with a number of different ways to create shadows, from literally drawing them on photoshop, using drop shadows and also lighting in After Effects. I have decided to use drop shadows because it gives me more control over the shadows and they can be applied in both after effects and photoshop. This way I can move back and forwards between programs.
This is especially important for my 'monster shadows'. After playing around with the shadows in after effects, I decided I liked the effect of the puppet tool, it gave a nice, spooky effect when the shadow is pulled to extreme lengths and i could merge it into the original shadow.
