Frequently asked questions

I'm no expert in animation but here's some tips on the software that works for me and answers to some questions I've been asked.

I made my first animation in December 2006. I spend roughly 3-4 hours a week animating.

I use Anime Studio Pro (Also known as Moho) for the 2D animation. There is a free trial available on their website and the software has some excellent tutorials to teach you the basics.
