Disregard that I pee while sitting.
I meant to say, that I've never used Vectorian Giotto myself, and I've never heard anyone's opinion on it other than it is a free alternative to Flash and Toon Boom, although somewhat limited.

You will never hear me attacking or blaming Vectorian Giotto, simply because I lack any info on it.

Would be much more helpful if you express your own opinion on it - so what do you think? Do you feel rage or discomfort when using it?

Toon Boom, huh? Well, after giving Giotto a try without using the user manual, I didn't like it. Shapes that overlap eat each other, controls kept spazzing out on me.

So, I'm getting into some animation, and I was wondering, will I be considered strange or childish for using a program like Vectoran Giotto over Flash? Just looking for some opinions on the program.

very cool. I'll look this over a little closer.

The belly is being thrown around the room way too fast.
Make it raise and lower at a slower tempo.

changing the speed is easy. I'll try that out.

No no, just an observation.

That could very well be. But that isn't a BAD thing, right?

I know it is possible to animate in MS Paint, but .. ha-ha, the end result looks pathetic, because it's same as animating blind-folded.

What pixel-animation programs with onion skinning are out there?

No, see, I use paint to make the sprites, and then I sequence them in Scratch. I spent a few hours testing things out last night. This is my result: http://imgur.com/U0JkXhr

I feel like it needs some pretty big tweaks, and if you can offer any advice, I'd really appreciate it.

As for full animation program, I downloaded Vectorian Giotto last night, but I have zero knowledge of how to use it.

I'm a completely novice animator, And I've got kind of a simple, yet interesting project I'm working on for use as an intro to my blog video posts. I've designed a VG style sprite of a goblin, and he's my author avatar. I'm trying to develop a sleeping breathing animation for him, but it's taking forever.

My tools I like to use are simply Paint XP at 600 zoom, and Scratch. I'm essentially doing old school sprite movement, and will need to do every bit by hand. My problem is that the sprite i'm working with is pretty simple, and it's harder to work with simpler designs. Heres a link to one of my blog posts with the sprite in question: http://dicerollerflicks.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/second-setback-life-is-fun/

I'm looking for someone to do an intro for my videos. I'm planning on doing reviews of gamer movies, and my motif is "goblin". I've got a sprite design complete for the most part (like, a literal 16-bit style sprite). If you are interested, I'll pitch it to you.
