How to make a perfect disk hole.
Forums
how do I (what tools, price etc) cut a neat hole in a drafting table to convert to an animation desk? I am not the handiest with wood and am weighing the options of of if is cheaper and easier for me to buy the tools or hire someone else, (perhaps a cabinet maker to come by and I'dgive him 25 bucks to cut the hole.)

Tracing bitmaps in flash
Forums
Hi!
What methods do you use for tracing bitmaps from scanned drawings in flash? My problem is that lines in my drawings are too thin to be seen properly on video. Is there a way of tracing bitmaps to be pencil drawings and then change the line thickness? I have flash mx in use.
thanks

I'd like to say that I think Blender 3D's amasing! I'm not being paid to say this, though I surpose the more people use it the more it will benifit me, as I'm quite skilled with it.
It's a full 3D program - WAY better that 3DS Max, though I guess that's quite a rubbish program - and It's freely downleadable from blender.org

Traditional Animator
Forums
I saw the title of this forum and I had to post. More and more, when I tell people I am an animator they assume I am a computer animator. And I have to explain to them that "No, I am an actual animator. You know with pencil and paper, having to control your motion and eases by hand. That is talent. Plus, I don't care what resolution you're rendering at, it still looks cold and emotionless.
I am a "traditional" animator and proud of it.

This one is a head turn based on an assignment from Tony White's The Animator's Workbook. Just thought I'd throw it out here before attempting a cleanup. (And yes I have yet to get the hang of keeping things from morphing! I'll probably draw/paste in perfect circles on another layer and trace over those in cleanup)
How to use exposure sheets?
Forums
How do I use them?
Should I use them simultaneously while doing my frames, inbetweening, keys all those done on the animator's table?
Can I do that after I've done all of the above before putting them under the camera?
When is the best time to use an exposure sheet?
capture Station Setup - Advice Needed
Forums
Hello-
I am currently researching methods for setting up a station for the digital capture of 2D or stop motion work for an expanding art department in a midwest university. The lab is a macinttosh lab so software would be restricted to mac-compatible means. I've used Frame Thief and like its features and would like to use a digital still camera to get higher resolution images than a miniDV cam.
Has anyone had experience in this area who can lend some advice or comments?
Teaching myself 2D animation: Possible?
Forums
Is it possible to teach myself 2D animation without going to the Uni?
If yes, how?
Which books or kits would you recommend to learn 2D animation on my own?
Closest so far is John Kricfalusi's blog, but he hasn't reach the part on actually animating something, like drawing frames, pencil tests, etc.
Can you help?
Animation capture table: Where to buy?
Forums
Where can I an animation frame capture table, that scans frame by frame of a drawing, then imported into the computer to be done by the Flipbook software?
Or would a normal scanner be suffice? If yes, what's the fastest scanner out there?

Taking SWF to DVD
Forums
Perhaps it was discussed here before but I don't remember but I wish to take swf (ecards) and convert them for DVD (demoreel). They are ones I worked on but the swf has the final sounds, that's why.
ANyone use any such program?
What do you recommend?
What about aspect size, say if 400 x 550? How will that convert? Likewise frame rate; some are 10, 12, 15 fps for the web.
Movie clips? Can such a program convert the movie clips so they don't appear held?
So I'd really appreciate responses and recommends from those who have used such software.
Flash Refresher
Forums
Hey everyone. I normally animate with illustrator and after effects, but have decided to get back into Flash.
I can't seem to remember how to get two seperate layers to animate together. Say if had a hand and arm on seperate layers I remember being able to animate them both and apply a motion tween with decent results. Does anybody know how to go about this, or even a better way to animate if you know of a way.
I am using MX 2004.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)
