Kevin,
Sounds like we've gone through similar trials. I don't think I will ever
resort to drawing on my monitor though.
I too have used vellum tracing paper cels, scanned them in, and done my
ink&paint in the computer. Only I used Disney Animation Studio. It has a real
onion skin effect and is geared to work the way I learned classical animation.
I actually started to buy Animator Pro once and returned it in
dissappointment. It was more like a glorified slide show maker.
I am hoping the Animator Studio will be what I need. It is the only
turn-key system I've heard of for the IBM. One package to do the video and
audio together would be great. Now to do anything, you have to use a
hodge-podge of software to get your final product.
Maybe we can talk about our animation trials some more.
Hope to hear from you,
Eddy R. Wood
P.S. I heard in this forum that Animator Studio will release on March 31.
Here's hoping.
