Jules Ashbach: Depends what kind of animation you want to do, since different programs will be tailored towards a different type of animation.Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent). There are some free alternatives.If you're doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I'd suggest MonkeyJam. It's free.http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.com/monkeyja...If you're on a Mac, use Pencil(there's PC and Linux versions as well).http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/index.phpIf you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you c! an try Creatoon which is free. It's not Flash, but it also does symbol oriented animation.http://www.creatoon.com/index.phpHere are some online resources about the basic principles of animation.http://www.idleworm.com/how/index.shtmlhttp://www.awn.com/tooninstitute/lessonplan/lesson...http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/05/media-pres...http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/05/media-pres...http://www.karmatoons.com/drawing/1a.htmhttp://www.animationarena.com/principles-of-animat...http://w ww.animationmeat.com/notes/notes.html...Show more
