* 'Hiring' flair posts must include the following:
* Animation type/style: As specific as possible what you are looking for, if necessary include examples
* Scope of the project (estimates): Length of the animation and deadline for delivery

Hello!
Can you guys recommend some free video animation platforms where I can create a video resume for my English class at uni? I need it to get all the credits necessary to promote this semester.
Thanks a lot!

It’s a huion kamvas plus 22 that I have barely used and I was wondering if any of you guys would be interested.
Been really getting into the game because nostalgia and I thought I should make a PVZ stop motion
Hello.
I was looking to expand my ability and reach as a stop motion filmmaker and though I find myself unskilled with claymation or creating characters out of felt.
I was wondering if it was possible to make characters using Posable figures for sketching as the base. The wood kind.
I wanted to find out if they were flexible enough to use in multiple poses and if anyone has used them before for stop motion, what their experience was like?
Thanks
Hey everyone!
I recently came across a fantastic article about the latest Adobe UXP update. It’s a goldmine for anyone in the media and entertainment industry who wants to stay ahead of the curve.
This update brings significant changes that could impact workflows, tools, and how we approach creative projects. If you’re navigating these changes or want to ensure you’re fully prepared to adapt (and outpace your competitors), this article could be exactly what you need.
I found it super insightful. It answered many questions about what to expect and how to leverage the new features effectively. More importantly, it includes information about how to start the migration process and why now.
Let’s stay ahead together!
