Fun and practice. I’d like to do a movie, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that on my own. I waver between 2D and 3D. I got ToonBoom Studio a couple years ago, and I like it a lot (although I’ve forgotten how to do even the basic stuff in it because it’s been so long since I used it). It’s for 2D animation. It works in 3D space but with 2D images. Some of the animations you see on TV and in movies are done using the higher end versions of it. But, I just can’t draw to the extent required. I can do some basic animation, such as this clip (where I completely broke the “Rule of Thirds” by centering). To do more, I would need to have an illustrator create many, many of the images for me (as was done for my avatar).

And, if I go that expense, I could have a modeler create 3D models for me, which would be easier for me to animate (as well as use again and again) in 3D animation software, which is what the UFO was done in.

I hate to say it, but I’ve never found editing to be too difficult. I started with all analog equipment, before computers were really equipped to do video editing, so a lot of the timing was in your hands, literally.

I’ve still got to get a good handle on using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (and soon CS4 will be out…). I used Adobe Premiere 4.2 or something many moons ago, but CS3 is so much more advanced! Plus, I use Adobe Soundbooth CS3–I do pretty well with that audio-wise, but I still have to learn how to work with video within it, which can be done, but I haven’t done before.

Ones like this are just quick and dirty models. I just do them to play around a bit and try to keep up with how to use all the different programs I have. If I don’t use some of them for a while, it’s like starting from scratch again!

No, I take the OTC version.
