Anime Creation?...
0
Sorry if im posting on a wrong forum or its a really wierd question and it doesnt fit the forums in general, but i just have to ask :P
Is it possible for anyone to create animes? i mean do u need high technology or expensive equipment to create lets say a 5min video of anime style? I think i have watched some amateur anime vids and i was wondering how they did it :/
Furthermore, i have watched some videos on utube in how to animate etc. Everything shows u to create some pictures, and them "put" them in the order u want them to be shown, and after a loop you get the dissired clip/movie. it seems more of making GIF files to me... should i want to create a small duration cartoon, is that how its done? are there any software to make it quicker?
Thx in advance

Sounds more of a Technology and Computer discussion for me.
If you mean by software, I know of 2 that you can use for animations. Adobe Flash and Adobe ImageReady though Flash is a better choice. A lot of people use this to do animations, generally the cost incurred would be the cost of software and graphic tablet. I'm not an expert in using these softwares so I can't provide more details than that. However here are the link to the software site.

[I'm so confused; this sounds like a discussion AND a request]. What you are speaking about is big time stuff amigo. First of all, it is not that easy to make an Anime. I assume you are an extremely talented artist? If not, forget about it, unless you plan on working towards this goal over time. If you are indeed skilled enough to draw anime for a show, you're better off working for a company first, before you go independant. I say this for a few reasons. One, it gets you really familiar with all the stuff that goes into making an Anime. It gets you familiar with the equipment as well. It teaches you the ropes of publishing.
The second reason I recommend working with a company before going independant is the sheer fact that you'll need lots of money for the programs/equipment/supplies you'll need. Keep in mind, I don't know much about what they use at Anime company's, but they do use a lot of industry specific stuff. Professional art supplies are costly, and that's putting it LIGHTLY. I had a friend that was simply going to college for the art industry, and his supplies ran him over a thousand dollars. Funny thing was, they weren't all brand new. He got a lot of them cheap, so as not to eat all of his funds.
Now here's what you need to know when it comes to drawing a show. Have you ever drawn a picture of an Anime character? Yeah, that picture was, in essence, a frame. A frame is basically a still image. You know how many frames there are in a second? In most Anime shows, there's thirty. So, that's thirty bloody frames YOU have to draw to show a little movement for your character. So, lets say you want him to scratch his nose. Thats thirty pictures. From what I understand, one of the main uses Anime artists have for their computers and software, is to chain those frames together, and smooth them out. I imagine the programs you'll need are Adobe products, Sony Vegas, or something similar. I don't know for sure what programs are used to be honest, but it is quite possible that said programs are capable of such things, as they are some of the biggest touted video editing programs out there.
...Anyway, I think that's good enough to give you the general picture. I hope this helps you amigo. If you want to know something else, ask it and I'll reply if I see it, but bear in mind I am NOT an expert by any means, and someone else on this forum probably knows more than I. Anyway, good luck amigo. [AT9]
