I suddenly had a desire to make short films. So I did. Here's the first one. I used Anime Studio for several parts, including the moving thought cloud, all the 2D stuff contained in the cloud and Mr. Eschploda Pop at the end. In reality, I used a bunch of different programs and composited many layer...

I think it depends on how one's mind works. I have found 3D animation to be rather complex and a bit discouraging. It feels like no matter how hard you try, the results look clunky and without emotion. I think it is easier to get a quick result with 2D because it more resembles drawing. Besides, eve...

I very much agree with slowtiger. I was just expounding on the topic since it was brought up "I'm a bit jealouss to 3D-animators. They can change their camera angles completely in no time." It probably would have best fit in its own topic. It is very valid to say that with some skill and p...

There's absolutely nothing stopping you (besides ambition and learning curve!) from combining your animations with 3D elements and/or effects. This is something I'm excited about trying myself. I have a number of 3D animation applications. There are a number of ways to combine the 3D and 2D - not su...

I watched the animation without sound because I have no speakers on this particular computer. I thought it was very effective. Like others have said, the dog animation was very well done. I actually smiled as I watched it simply because I thought the animation was charming. The hunter's exaggerated ...

It sounds like your serial number should be valid, in that it starts with ZS. I had a "worse" problem in that my packaging came with the serial number sticker for an entirely different product. I tried submitting the problem on the e-frontier online customer service form, but didn't get a ...

Cool, thanks for the info on masking. When I get that far, I'll refer back to this. Hopefully what you are talking about works in regular AS, not Pro, since that's what I have. If not, oh well. I think from scanning your post you said AS users aren't missing out on anything in this regard. I love th...

I like it. I tend to like things I don't quite "get" (understand), as much of my own artwork I don't even have a clue what it means. I'm sorry, I was not influenced by your message at the end, so I will not be handing over 10% of my measly income (not that it would do you much good anyway)...

I just bought Anime Studio 5 and will hopefully get up to speed in coming months. I'm generally pretty good at learning on my own, but I may as well benefit from the obviously large and experienced community already here. It's cool to see a variety of skill levels represented and a generally friendl...

Actually, I think it came out quite funny. I like the whole concept of the trainer's irresponsibility pushing the guy beyond his reasonable limit, then telling the guy it was his fault for being so irresponsible. I also like the extreme hyperbole and sarcasm at the end and enjoy the fact that it was...

Amazingly well done. I'm assuming your son drew the characters, and you put it all together and animated it - with some overlap in both responsibilities I'm sure. What a great lesson, and what a thrill to see one's drawings come to life. The closest thing I've ever done to this was taking some child...

I like your little Bible Q&A animations. I especially like the nature of the content, as it is heart warming and wise. Well done.
