@jimme, this is nice, pls whst application do you use and which one do you use for the animation
i wish to know how to animate all these 2D animatio. Pls post the software.
Thanks

@BenjiShog, I did it in Coraldraw! I am going to do all the full character movements on different layers.
I'll be using a combination of ToonBoom Digital Pro and Adobe Flash for animation.
For editing I will useAdobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Presently, I move around with a recorder for local/indigenous sound (that hasn't been easy).

@ jimme luv d character design especially when I think  from a chartacter setup and animation point of view. Should be pretty quick to work with. which makes me wonder why u need 3 apps just to animate. If you don't mind I'd like to have a go at it to see if I was right.

@xothermik, I use each "app" has it's pro and cons. I also am not using some wonderful machine for rendering.
I'm experimenting with Corel Draw in my animation pipeline. I will then try importing my assets into flash or toon boom for animating.
Then the scenes will be imported into Premier for editing and effects(if any). Hope that helps.

you are right. the point is what works best for you. if i were to do it though i think i only need 1. i took the liberty 2 do a test of your design and came up with this. hope its cool with you. done in anime studio pro.  if you want i would like to share the techniques i used with you.

@xothermik , that was fast! Looks nice. Nice indeed. I actually have a copy of anime studio myself (some where on my external drive). Your techniques? I'd be glad to here of it!
