What equipment is needed?


No big budget films. There are as many ways as users and how match money can be spent. All that is really needed to make an animation is a Still camera and a stand to get a steady image with and that will get you started. I recommend using a Video camera and a computer because different techniques can easily be combined. The video camera can be connected trough USB ore Fire Wire (IEEE 1394) interface, Fire Wire give you a better image. When buying a video camera (DV) it should be one with a Fire Wire port same goes fore the computer. Some video cameras have an animation and dubbing function that means that an animation can be done with the video camera alone. And in the end sometimes pen and paper is the best tool to make simple animation with like a flip book. If interested best way to get started is to find out how it’s done.
