They went through their experiences working on professional software like Toon Boom and TV Paint, Photoshop and Animate CC (flash), additionally mentioned the newest feature in Procreate 5, a well-known app for iPad. They talked about all the advantages and disadvantages of all these digital tools.
Also, they mentioned all new 2D animation features and series that came out this year. And what if it is a fresh start for traditional animation to reborn and be competitive in this digital 3D era.
During these holidays I’ve finally dug deep into Toon Boom Harmony.
Firstly, I want to mention that this is not my first approach to this software. I tried it back in 2013-2016, I suppose. And I must confess I didn’t get it at that time, video tutorials were quite complicated and always ended up with ‘use Help and Support to know more’, that was a bit disappointing. So, then trial version expired I didn’t purchase a fool version of the program, and they did not have a subscription back then.
Secondly, since I want to work in animation professionally now, I did research a few months ago about what kind of software is used in studios for in 2D production. And I found that TV Paint, Toon Boom and Animate CC (flash) sort of lifers in the industry.
Since we cover TV Paint and Animate CC in college, I’ve decided to study Toon Boom on my own. I discovered that its possible to subscribe to soft. And I chose a Harmony Advanced version that is a mid version of the program.
Well, I want to say that I like it so far. I think its a mix of Animate CC, then you can make motions between K-frames and Cut-out animation and TV Paint for like they called it Paperless 2D.
