Answer 2

Google Sketchup is more about building 3D models, particularly for buildings. It's not really meant to be used for animation.

Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent). There are some free alternatives.

If you're doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I'd suggest MonkeyJam. It's free.

If you're on a Mac, use Pencil(there's PC and Linux versions as well).

If you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you can try Creatoon or Synfig, which are free. They're not Flash, but they also do vector based symbol oriented

animation.

Enter google sketchup into the search

Answer 4

all these dogs aren't giving you straight answers. to make an animation, choose a good viewpoint, and go view, animation, add scene. up the top you should now have a tab saying "scene one" find your next viewpoint and repeat the next steps. do this as many times as you want.

Note: you can't make stuff move in an animation, you can only move the camera's angle
