I believe that the solution to finding a story lies at the very core of a simple question every animator/author has to ask themselves first: why do I want to animate? I pose this question to all my students in the first hour of our first class and most students say something like, Because I like an...

Oh right, yes, they are good points. Thanks.

I don't get the point. You're not supposed to do a feature film, do you? So it's ging to be a short. Why so much writing before? If you can't tell the plot in two or three sentences, then it's not a story for a short. This may be just my personal taste, but I really prefer the film longer and fulle...

Perhaps my last messege was too much. Bascially, does anyone have any advice on what I could do to flesh out the shop scene? Over the past night, I have come up with a small idea, but it still needs more work. My idea is that the focus of the film will be Alices difficulty getting hold of something ...

Hello, Hi everyone, and anyone who would like to help in any way. I am a 3rd year University Student on a degree at Westminster Uni (England). I'm retaking this last year, I failed it initially 2 years ago. There are several projects (such as a dissertation), for the main short film project, I am ru...

Wow, great stuff. Thanks.

Fascinating video, that place is like the opposite of my school.

Hi. I'm sorry, what exactly is "the Gobelins"? An animation course perhaps?

Cool thanks.

Faux-fixe? I have seen it, but sorry I don't know what it is. I will look it up in the manual.

Hi there, I was wondering if any one could help me? I'm afraid this has probably been answered somewhere else, but I did search, couldn't find it. I am going to be using TVpaint a lot more over the next year, so I will probably be asking lots of questions, I probably should start a thread about my p...

Excellent film Hisko! I mean really, really great, fantastic! I'm afraid I haven't actually read all of this thread, got up to about page 3. So none of this was done in TVPaint? CTP and Toonz? I've never heard of them :P I went to the CTP site and I wasn't impressed, but I guess it's a hidden gem or...

Great peace of work lemec. I'm going to watch the video now.

[[ PS- I'm Oly on your messenger by the way. Need to speak to you next time you're online about how to install some custom plugins I bought from you. I got a new pc so I need to re-install everything ]]

Hi,

I'm sorry, I know this is a really old post. How do I play back the .dip file and convert it to a video format which I can use? Like quicktime .mov?

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the help!

Both methods work, but the second is best for me because it is less time consuming and the two TVP projects are very large (and my pc is old), so combining them into one project slows down things a lot.

I've been making an animation with a friend of mine in TVPaint Animation. He's been drawing the frames on paper and I've been scanning and putting them into TVP, I'm never going to do it that way again, but for now I'll have to finish it that way. The project started getting rather large, it was tak...
