    I am in need of an animation program. It doesn't matter if it is 3D or 2D but I need to make an animation movie and I should be able to customize the characters. Is there such program?

    I need it for English. We are reading To Kill a Mockingbird and we each have been assigned a chapter that we must present to the class with great creativity and details. My teacher is very much into movies and puppet shows, so I thought I'll make an animation movie to reenact the chapter. If you guys have other ideas besides this, please don't hesitate to share your brilliance.

    Thank You.

    You could try Flash CS4 if you don't mind dropping some cash or torrenting it....

    Or there is Pivot with much less customization of people and you can only really use stickmen....

    pivot is bleh... I'll try Flash, I have never really seen it in use before. Hopefully I can find an individual torrent, I don't want to download the master collection and waste my hard drive space for the other adobe programs I will never use in my life.

    More Ideas/Programs Please...

    What chapter? You may not want to do an animation for a longer chapter.

    Chapter 26. I think it is about 6 pages long. The animation can be brief...

    So there is no other program for this? only Adobe Flash? I am downloading right now, but I was wishing there was something less time consuming. I just watched couple of youtube tutorials on Adobe Flash, it seems as if it takes alot of time to draw...

    macromedia flash is nice and simple and more common. It has less potential though.
