I would really like to start learning how to create 2D animation simerler to this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qmGVYki-oyQ

Does anybody know a FREE program that I could use to create 2D animation?

Well, that i believe that is done in flash, but it's not free, and i don't know of any programs to create 2D animation that is free.

i saw dat yesterday wat a coincidence

Does anyone know a free flash 2d animation program?

type in google free flash 2d animation program click top one then find Easy FlashMaker (SWF Creator) 1.4a
I dont know if it is the one u want though

you can keep downloading the trial.

Spazicat, what do you use and what free flash 2d program would you suggest??

well, i use the full version of flash cs3. i got it as a present last christmas, but like i said before, download the trial, wait till it has ended and download it again.

but tetnicly i have no clue of any other free programme.

Ok, thanks. Is it easy to use? Are there any tutorials anywhere?

FLASH cs3 is the most used by professionals, nobody can beat adobe flash its far too popular, as is all adobe products

I don't think the old version of the trial is available.

clck try in th FL icon

That is the new version and they haven't brought it out yet. I found it on download.com though. Once Ive downloaded the trial and used the 30 days can I just uninstall and download again and it will be another 30 days? That rarely happens.

trust me, you should watch the toutorials above and join my latest thread http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/forum/read/19449/1

if u know how to use torrents or sum1 that downloads programms frm the internet, head over to 'pirate bay' u cn get a naughty version of it on there no dought, the latest version too!

No sorry, I don't do illegal downloads.

You can do 2-d animation by the following.

Draw your frames on paper (on a lightbox, so you can see your previous drawing, and tweak the second one slightly when you trace over.) Then photograph each frame, at the exact same angle. You can then, like stopmotion, play them on monkeyjam and see if you like the animation. As it will only be a black and white drawing, you can then import each frame to photoshop. Put the photographed drawing as the back ground, and on a new layer, draw over (using colours,etc) in neat. Do it for very frame, then import them all to monkey jam. Then export as a movie.

Its simple.

I was talking about 2d flash. I know how to do the lightbox thing.

our school computers have flash

same.

What program?

Animation Boy, how you you edit a frame in MonkeyJam and put the edited picture in to the frame space?

Erm, Chocochoc is talking about 2D computer generated animation. I don't think he's asking about classic hand drawn technique.

Im a girl by the way.

I might get a lightbox for my birthday anyway .

Cool! that's pretty soon as well!
I am hoping on getting a graphics pad.

Oops, lol, natural instinctive, forgot you were a girl

That's cool, thespazicat! For a cartoon sequence in Frog Blast we're using a software called Toon Boom Animation.

Nofby,

computer generated animation (none cgi) is done roughly how i said. Sometimes they use flash, but they will still do a pencil test on paper, then import them all. Chocochoc id look around the internet, we're not very experienced here.

Toon Boom is pretty awesome.

HEY GUYS! I got the full version of flash cs4, and as they say at mcdonalds, im loving it!
