Need help with traditional animation!

Hi, I have little problem. I have good animation idea and we gonna start animating, but how we should scan it  . Because scanner is not a best way to do it, and I don't know other tech  . And how we should color it ? Photo Shop ? Flash ? Other software?

If you have a digital camera, you can use iStopMotion. Or scan and color in photoshop. And there's always the option of drawing directly in Flash if you have a tablet. It's really up to you. There are tons of tutorials online for whatever you decide to do. There's also some resources on this forum for things like animation and illustration. I'm sure you'll find what you need if you look.

It really all depends on youl what you're more comfertable, that's why there are mutiple formats, there's not just one way that is best.

And why wouldn't you use a scanner for scanning?  Maybe if it's not efficent enough for you, you should just lower the dpi so it doesn't take so long.

And with your animation take it slow, begining in animation is 90% learning as you go, most of animation is learn as you go, but you really need to get the fundementals down to start with.

Thanks for info guys  . At the moment I'm thinking to make all animation and backgrounds with PS and scan my line art with good scanner. It will be good for first time i think  .
