I first joined in December 2005, and have been a member ever since! Their forums for production and post-production are top quality, with a very high signal-to-noise ratio. I am sure that the construction, balancing and rehearsals of a stabliliser will require much patience, but I am also sure the creative dimension it will add to shots will be worth the investment. After an attempt to attach a counterweight to the bottom of this for a 'quick and dirty' stabiliser, the need for free, fluid movement becomes clear. My current tripod has a removable centre, which extends to 1.5m and can be used as a monopod. When I have time, money and energy to spare, I would like to build the car mount (two years ago we developed a script and storyboard for a project that would extensively use a car mount which at that time were elusive), and build a simple camera-control rig out of LEGOВ® Mindstorm (this last one isn't in Dan's book!), mainly to be used for a multi-pass stop motion animation (which, incidently will feature LEGOВ® characters). But for starters we'll be building a handheld stabiliser, a dolly and a crane with a tilt head. There is also a very cool rig called the 'Touch of Evil' Cam, which is fundamentally the same as the first crane shot in cinema history. Much more to my taste is Dan Selakovich's Killer Camera Rigs You Can Build which has kits in the 2 to 3 digit range, perfect for Independent Low-budget Filmmaking (which is different to Studio Low-budget, which can usually afford to hire the equipment they need). The web site has an impressive gallery of home made rigs, cranes, dollies and stabilisers but still require a certain amount of know-how and access to some decent hardware tools. And when you want to impress on a tight budget, there aren't many options around.

Plus it allows you to pivot for a pan or a tilt.Д«ut sometimes that's not enough, sometimes you need to actually move the camera to make an impressive 'motion picture'.

There are many vicious rants about this on the web site - but the product still has great features and as long as you are willing to wait you should be fine.The single most important tool you can use with a camera, film or digital, movie or still, is a tripod. But sadly the company has been delaying the for a LONG time.

The Mac version is missing a few features that the PC version has, but the company has promised that the upcoming release of V2 on the mac will bring the mac side up to the PC side. The company provides a few good tutorials to get you started and it's own web members board where fellow Toon Boom users can answer a lot of your questions. The program is quick to learn and very straight forward. Toon Boom allows you to quickly create complex 3dimensional camera moves and animation effects. Where the product really excells is in the scene building area.

Toon Boom works on the exposure sheet metaphor and allows you a great freedom to draw or import from Illustrator or Flash projects. Toon Boom is a great product for animators wanting to make flash cartoons and animations but not have to learn Flash. Toon Boom Studio Express (beginners) and Toon Boom Solo (web/broadcast professionals) also available from the publisher:

Export to Macromedia Flash (SWF), QuickTime, DV Stream, AVI, and image sequences.

Automatically scale and rotate images through space and time.

Animate cut-out elements with transform tool.

Add sound (WAV, AIFF, MP3) and speed lip-synching with powerful lip sync analyzer.

Create artwork with powerful drawing tools as easy as working with pen and paper.

Import media from templates, movies, photo collections, and more (SWF, AI, PSD, JPEG, TGA, GIF).

Toon Boom Studio's intuitive user interface and advanced animation keyframing, asset reuse and lip synchronization empower animators to make high quality animations faster. Users can easily build animations digitally, traditionally or the cut-out way by selecting artworks from existing libraries and animating them using motion paths.
