animations

[Poppy]

my hobby of making teddy bears has given birth to another hobby I have started using my bears to make animations. I am only now learning how to use animation shop so they are very basic but I shall have fun with it, does anyone else do animations I could use a few tips. Here is my dancing bear, and my sig animation is two of my bears choosing new mohair for a new bear

Good work EDIT - oops! poppy, the bottom one looks really cute!
I haven't done much stop motion animation on PC's - used to do a bit on 8mm film, but that's about it.
I'm guessing animated Gif's are a bit limiting on how much you can put in them.
If you wanted to show them on a TV you'd be best to go down the editing software route, where you can put all your photos together as a clip then render it to a .wmv or .avi file, these can then be burnt to dvd or tape with the right software.

Hope this helps!

thanks guys I am only playing with it at the mo but it is addictive I got animation shop free with paintshop pro 9 about a year ago but hadnt bothered loading it untill now. There isnt a handbook so its a case of click and see what happens, I amm enjoying though so may have to get what you suggest col, so I can do more serious anis:)
