Digital Art Animations help

Have you seen those animations with stick figures or with KH characters?
The ones that move around or fight?
Well I was wondering is there a special program or software to do that?

 

Have no idea how they make this animations. I've got a lot of them but i've found them in the net.

 

Do you mean .gif files like the one in my sig?

 

Well I use Jasc Animation Shop 3, its ideal for GIF images on the web, but its not free. Its $39.99 on the offical Corel site. Though I got mine free with PSP9.

 

Your gif doesn't appear...
Anyways, if you want to make whole animations I guess you need a different program. But I heard you can do basic changes in the image with normal programs like photoshop...not sure if that's true though...

 

Have you seen the ones with like riku fighting sora or roxas fighting sora.
They move around and jump and hit each other.
Not just words moving around.

 

I no, but I dunno how to do them. Thats why I said I think you need a special program like the one ^^^ mentioned.

 

You need a special program yes, but you need things called sprites and put them together to form that kinda stuff.....kinda like claymation.

 

yeah, theres alot of stuff you can use. PhotoShop, Imageready, Jasc, Ulead, and many others are good for sprite animations. Flash would be the ideal program for the stick figure animations but i guess you could use PS or Imageready for that too.
