- No need when I'm at college, I've got access to a nice 24bit colour
- flat bed 8-).

- I know that it's a widely used technique to paint images on paper,
- then scan them into the computer, but for animation, I find it generally
- works better if drawn from scratch on the computer (unless you're a trained
- animator with a light box, registration bar and plenty of thin paper with
- registration holes etc), it's easier to draw a bit and flip between frames
- to make sure it looks right, than to draw everything for each frame and
- find out when they're scanned that they don't animate very well.
-
- Better than anything else would be to use a video digitiser, and
- digitise someone from all eight directions for all the neccessary
- animations. Of course that wouldn't help a lot with monsters (unless
- someone was willing to go to the effort of making a complex costume), but
- it would be ideal for people.
-
- I've got a Videomaster ST cartridge, but that's not much use,
- especialy without a video or camera at college 8-(. Perhaps someone with an
- Expose card could have a go.
-
- Have another day.
