well, nate, nobody but don bluth has the spare time and money to buy an animation studio and make movies himself. i think pj here's best shot is to scan some hi-contrast ink drawings. a simple backlight costs about 25 bucks (i invested in one awhile ago for some of my art), but you can improvise with a translucent cutting board propped over a flash light. the general idea is just to get a light shining through the back of the paper so you trace for animations. anyhow, scan them black and white at a high res, color and scale them down for anti-aliasing. that way you dont have to deal with little tiny light-colored dusts and scratches and the like. you're going to need a routine anyhow to push out animations.
i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry
