It sounds as though you've got a bug up your you-know-what about PC based
animation systems. What are they teaching you at Pratt? (I went to SVA –
totally different mindset!)
Anyway, check out RIO Animator if you want to do simple, vector-based
animation. Also, check out AXA's Ink & Paint for more traditional cel-based
animation. Both packages offer 24-bit output to video, preferably from a TARGA
or VISTA based system (like it or not, Truevision has been around for years,
and these boards are THE industry standard for getting your graphics onto
tape).
Before you go calling Animator Pro a "rinky-dink computer presentation
package", take it for a test drive. It's one POWERFUL package. I've been
working professionally with videographics for over 10 years, and I'm quite
pleased with the software solutions from Autodesk.
