Well the more active of you will have noticed that Wooshii is filling up with some awesome animators. There is no taking it away from these creatives they are extremly talented and we love having them on Wooshii. If you have an idea for a great animation thoughit is now possible to put it into reality. I’ve been checking out some of the services out there to help you do it

Go Animate

GoAnimate.com – Interesting idea but I am yet to see anyone use it well. You can choose scenes (yes they have Star Trek and Star Wars) characters etc and animate with a load of set animations facial expressions etc. Mix this up with a load of changing camera angles and the potential is great. Like I said I couldn’t find any great examples of peoples work but here is a kind of promotional video. Seems to have potential for some novelty fun so if any one does anything good be sure to upload it to Wooshii.

Xtra Normal

XtraNormal has already featured on Wooshii (see below). The key difference between this site and GoAnimate is the speech overlay that can be applied to animations. It results in some hilarious creations and unlike the above there is no end of good examples on the site. The site runs a premium service, though you can do a fair bit with the free version.

ToonDoo

ToonDoo – This is comic stripping made easy. With a host of sets and characters preloaded intothe system creating humerous illustrations or viral ads becomes simple with the right script. Lame attempt by me below but i can see this being a serious cause of time wastage. Love it (I guess it could be used for simple storyboarding as well)
