Hey yul this is homer doh from the other board. Im afraid the program they use costs a whole lot and they probably dont have a trial demo.If you search the older posts here from a few weeks ago you might find the discussion of this same subject. You could always try what they originally did; animating construction paper cut-outs. |

I meant to say look under a thread with a similar name like south park style animation. It should stick out. |

Couldn't you maybe use a regular 2D animation program and put slight drop shadows behind the characters to make them look cut-out? Then just wiggle them across the screen in a cheap South Park style path?

Oh c'mon! No one's gonna want to check it out and you guys never give us straight forward answers! What are some programs that we can use to achieve this effect? Please tell me a program, not how they do it! Thanks you |

The only 2-D animation program I know of that is cheap and simple is Corel Move. It's in the older versions of Corel. I've never used it to any great extent, but I;m sure it could work. |

Animating it yourself by hand is not that hard. All you need is a little patience. It only takes... all day to do 30 seconds. I have a collection of some southpark style cutout animation at:

Here are some straight forward awnsers. And I am tired of giving them. You can use any 3d program to achive this effect. ANY 3D PROGRAM. Just make all your objects flat and parent them together and draw all your back grounds or use Photoshop or even make them flat 3d cut outs too. Also you can use and 2D animation program. Newteks Aura, Pro Motion U-Lead Video Paint. Deluxe Paint Animatior (hehe) thats what you need. Happy now? If you need more help just email me. |

Anybody have any idea how many frames per second are animated? I doubt it's a full 30, or even 24. And often in SP, characters don't move when speaking, so you'd only have to change their faces around to accomodate different expressions and lip movement. Have lots of dialogue scenes, and it might become manageable to do it by hand (or even piece by piece in Photoshop. |

The amount of frames a second any animation films is the same as the format you are playing back (pal 25fps, ntsc 29.97fps ,film 24fps) the only differance being that the animators will double up or triple up on frames. This gives a jerky feel to the animation. If you have a character speaking for 1 second and their mouths don't move, you still need to film 25 frames to have 1 second of footage (pal). You just shoot 25 frames of the same thing. |

I heard an interview with Parker and Stone where they mentioned using Magpie Pro as their lip-sync animation software. There is a trial version available, but it is limited. http://thirdwish.simplenet.com/ It's pretty straightforward and fun to use. ------------------

The program that is used to create South Park is called "Alias," and it is expensive.However, you could use Adobe Premier's "Motion" features. If you have it, look in the manual for more info, and if you don't, well, tough. |
