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.

animationstringPlease feel free to sign up for this free E-Book.  It was a great inspiration to me.  It helped me see what is possible.  It was written by a great artist named Terrence Walker who taught us 1 person can make a movie.  It is not as impossible to create your own anime even in long format.  In fact Terrence has proven it can be done.  Please go to his site and check out his free E-Book.  He also has tons of classes available for sale.  I would recommend Anigen secrets revealed.
