hi everybody, got to make a cartoon in which a guy is running. the thing is, i can make the guy run, but how could i make the background move as well, so that it creates a sensation of speed? i've heard that you have to use a background scene bigger (or longer) than mirage's screen, but that's all i know.
(again, i guess it's the same thing as in tvpaint, so if you don't know mirage but do know tvpaint, your answer might be helpful too)

You can use Keyframer for moving and animating backgrounds.
And as an alternative, you can create a project with camera; to have a "fixed" background and a "moving camera and runner" which may look better.
