Hello,
I would like to create some 2D animations as an amateur side project, which will include vector and raster art, audio (voice, music and sounds), and lip syncing.
I'm not a professional graphics artist, I do know how to use some software to some extent, like Photoshop, Illustrator, Inkscape, Gimp and others.
I would like to produce the
2d Animation Explainer in the shortest time possible because I have other things to do, so I would like to know what workflow would be the fastest and what software should I use.
I would prefer to use free and open source software if possible.
I already looked into Synfig and OpenToonz and some other tools, but there is no easy to setup lip syncing on them, maybe I could use another software for this.
I think it would be faster to use a bone/skeletal animation method to rig and animate the characters. Drawing frame by frame would take too long.
I also think that I could grab images on the internet and use them instead of drawing everything, I know that some images may have a copyright that won't allow me to use them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
