The Wiggles uses AS for their animations

Okay- my son watches Playhouse Disney so that's the only reason I was watching this lol- but on the show "The Wiggles" they have little animation segments they do that I'm 99% positive are done in Anime Studio. It looks like they use bones and "bending" vector art like someone's arm, etc. They even look like they were drawn in AS because you can tell where the points are in the lines. Unfortunately, it's not as good as half the talent on this forum... :( Why aren't t.v. companies hiring US to put some decent animation on television?!

Anyone else know of any AS generated animation shown on broadcast tv?

The quote comes from this thread:

(Moho is the previous name of Anime Studio, incase you didn't know.)

I've gotten some professional work using AS, but none where they specifically asked for an AS user. I simply slipped it on the client and they loved it!

In fact, one of my projects is online. You can see it here:

This was a Main Title for a movie. I did nearly everything except for design the characters and artwork, come up with the concept, and land the gig with the end client.

I've tried to tell my current employer about AS but since it doesn't fit into their established pipeline, they're kinda disinterested. That's the thing about producers -since most of them aren't animators, they really don't know what they're looking at (even if you explain it to them) when you show them something as awesome as AS.

Sorry, I'm not Diana. She just hired me to animate her stuff. But thanks anyway! I've always liked her style. She's been doing silhouette illustrations since the late '60s/early '70s and has been printed in just about every major magazine you can imagine. She's a very talented illutrator and I enjoyed making her artwork come to life. I wouldn't have been able to do it without AS.

Well, nicely done Sir/Ma'am Slice.
