Have you thought of combining methods to create your own anime?

Check out this video.

 

This might be a great way to make your anime.

Mix with AE or use Adobe Animate

Crazy Talk actually supports MOCAP and a 3d Turn around of your character.   2d might be the faster way to go.

Plus you can add 3d backgrounds or actual backgrounds.   What do you think?

If you look at some of the other tutorial videos you will see how to turn a photo into a backround.

Then you can also add some AE FX.

If you don’t have a MOCAP system try the old fashion way.  Get out and film yourself on your phone or with a friend and then use that to animate the character.

I remember as a kid wishing I could do animation.  At the time hardly anyone had a computer.  I first saw a computer when I was 9 years old and thought.  Wow!  This could be used to do animation.  What couldn’t you do with a computer?  That was  1987 or 1988.

I didn’t really have a way to animate even then.  No scanner, no money, I don’t even think they had a mouse.    But the day finally came when we got a computer.  I was 19 years old and I grabbed my first Animation Master Software for $299.  I started reading all the magazines I could as internet was still limited.  Boy did I love those PC magazines about art.

But now there is nowhere near the limits you once had.

In fact if you want to do 2d or 3d there is a ton of free software available.

Moven has been a really cool software for some years.  If you cannot afford Toon Boom or Flash this one will get you where you need to be if you want to do 2d Anime.

Here.  Feel free to download it.

Here are some of the cool new features.

I really liked the intro this guy made.  It looks pretty good especially animated by one person.  I thought I’d share with you some of his video tutorials on how to make anime.  Again the process works in standard animation as well.

I’m going to throw this one in as well.  Animating with Adobe After FX.

So you have a great story and want to tell it.  You want to make an Anime or Anime?  Or would you rather make a Manga?  Well….why not combine the two in a visual novel.

I see a few advantages to this.  If you are not the best artist you could still hire someone to make some of the characters for you thus reducing the cost to make and yet you would still be able to tell your entire story with fewer drawings.

Here is a free software to help you make your own visual novel.
