Question for Animators.

I'm looking into getting into GFX and Animation but I don't know what program(s) to get.

I know of Photoshop and I already have that but:

What is a good program to create animations? Is Cinema 4D Broadcast the program everyone uses? How much is it?

EDIT: Found the price. Is there a way to get this for free or does everyone have $1,700 laying around to pay for this?

 

Well there are always the 'normal' methods to get it for free, which I won't tell you just google a little bit. You can create animations in just about any GFX program, it just depends on if you want 2D or 3D.

 

Ok, Thank you.

I'm currently going away for the weekend but when I get back I wouldn't mind talking to you on MSN or Skype.

I suggest getting Adobe Flash for basic animation. It's not very Sythe-oriented, but it's definitely a good program. Check out Newgrounds.com to see some of the things it can do.

 

I have after effects, photoshop, and c4d..
