Animation Tip #5

I like to refer to the old way of making animation as "The Stone-Age Way".  See for yourself all the things that are necessary. And don't forget a knowledge of the basic techniques!  The old way is so expensive, requires so much equipment, and is so difficult, that it's not easy for one person to make a long animation in color. Coloring each drawing with animation paints takes a very long time. Above all, doing animation this way is super expensive! Animan does not recommend this difficult venture.

Doing animation with computer software is convenient.  There is no need for a camera or projector. There is no need to buy expensive acetate sheets, expensive paints or flood lamps. There is no need for a special camera or camera stand.  It is now possible for one person to make an animation in color, in widescreen and with stereophonic sound!  Animan recommends this way of making animation!
