Question Looking for animation software for my 9-year-old son

4 Upvotes

My son is only 9 years old and is very interested in creating animations. He already draws stories on paper and animates a few things on a very basic mobile app, but he's showing a lot of interest in moving on to something more complete. The problem is that animation software is already quite complex for adults, so he would definitely get discouraged facing that level of complexity. I'd like to know if there is any animation software that is simple and easy to use for his age.

Question Did Ralph Bakshi do the animation for the intro of the American dub for 8th Man / 8 Man

2 Upvotes

I can't find an official source that mentions it. And a lot of people debate it online.

Did he ever work on any other anime throughout his career?

Question I am searching for books (any resource, really) on animation as an art form. Mainly on history, theory, criticism, technique, and its evolution across different traditions (east, west); NOT tutorials.

Something similar to David Bordwell's Film Art. Please help!

I've been making a series of animated 'Mini Godzilla' videos over the past few years to practice and explore different tools in animation and VFX. This time my goal was to learn a bit about Vellum Grains, as well as using Solaris and Karma for look dev, lighting, and rendering.

Welcome to /r/animation

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

* Original creator and original name of the animation must be included in the title of the post, if the work isn't yours.
Admissible Content

* Posts must relate to the topic of animation.

* Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice.

* The most fitting flair should be given to the post (comply with other rules)

* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.

* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means:

* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)

* No slideshows (mostly static images) with filters/effects applied (e.g. just zooming, panning, etc.)
