The video and the blurb on the right says he used Blender 3D.

Ok, I know this might seem unfair to all the work you did, but aren't you able to clean up a little bit the background noise when the characters talk?

I do a fair bit of work with film and TV folk (as a systems administrator), and I'm seeing more and more studios using Blender 3D either for partial or full pipeline work.

It's a great package, and getting better with every release. Best of all, as a student you get access to the full package without restrictions thanks to it being free / open source software. No crippleware - you get to play with the same tools the big companies do.

Since a couple of people in this thread are in the know when it comes to animation, what are your recommendations for the best 2D animation software?

Some free software for that purpose was announced on BlenderNation several years ago. It's called Pencil 2D. Here's a link: http://www.blendernation.com/2007/06/03 ... -software/

That's a fair question. I sort of had to learn sound editing as I made this, and the BG noise didn't seem so bad to me, so I didn't bother learning how to clean it. Next time I'll work on that a little harder.

I agree. The Blender I started learning in 2005 is NOT the same Blender that's out today. (I still remember how excited I was when they added raytraced reflections, then SSS, and later even cloth simulation.) It's catching up with stuff like 3DS Max and Maya really fast.

Wow--thank you. That is exactly the type of program I was looking for.

Wow, I remember hearing about this, but I didn't know it was available for Linux. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Bye bye Flash (hopefully).
