  • how would you create smooth animation? i mean, there isn't a way that you can do an onion-skin type of thing, so wouldn't everything look really choppy?

  • You do all your hand-drawn animation on a light table beforehand. If you were planning on animated 3D objects or, say, construction paper cut-outs, then you'd have to animate based on intuition and an exposure sheet.

  • o.o

    kinda funny u mention it cuz i'm actually building one of those right now. i just wasn't thinking... i use that type of thing for a lot of other non-animation drawing, so I guess I could pick up animation and just use a scanner instead of the old school film animation cameras.

  • The best thing for animating on a budget is just a webcam or camcorder pointed down at a table. That way you can see very clearly on your computer screen what you're animating without dealing with a pain in the ass scanner.

  • "Why" ? you ask. Because it's how all animation on cels used to be shot and it's a nice documentation of how these cameras looked. People still use these cameras to do clay or paint-on-glass animation directly under the camera . I think it's cool that they actually made a video of the ol' Oxberry rig in action.

  • Why?
