So I found a little process using all the open source software but it turns out right now it's taking me much longer to produce the cartoons this way. I'll be sticking with Toon Boom for my major projects for now, however I'm not giving up on the freebies! I have a toon series or two in the works and i plan on using this new software for it...

So Far So Good...Almost...
So I've pretty much got the workflow down..I uploaded a quick test and the results are pretty favorable. Only problem I seem to be having is getting the video to be in widescreen format...I'll have to work on that...

A Little On The Slow Side..
Soo...haha the new "method" I have here has presented me with a bit of a road block. But none the less, I'm still making some headway.
I've put off the Sesame Street short for now and am working on a quick and easy short to help me find a good way to streamline my process using nothing but free software...damn blogger doesnt support tiff's...
Here's a quick screenshot of the video response I'm making for Three-Toes: Ask JB using said programs.

Time For A Change!
So I've been using a borrowed version of Toonboom for the last couple animations. I didn't want to have to buy the actual program, since it's way to expensive, nor did I want to pirate it...Too much trouble!
I remembered a couple of free alternatives. Open-source software that was promising. I hadn't really used them beyond the testing fazes but they have always been stuck in the back of my head.
After being teased with such great "paid" apps I wanted to go back to my roots. That is my broke roots :-D
From here on out (for at least the time being or I get the extra $$$) I'll be dedicated to using nothing but open-source apps for all computer aspects of the animation process. This little experiment should hopefully have some interesting results and I can't wait to see what kind of challenges will come up!
So Beginning tomorrow I'll be starting on a new short I had written up when I was bored... Hahah, It's a quick and simple little something that I hope will be a good starting point for this approach. Until then I'll be documenting this whole ordeal and hopefully have a bit of a "making of/ tutorial" video all set up.
Nighty Night!
