If you're looking for one to create animations, and you are an advanced user you can try anim8tor it's free, google it. However if you're not an advanced user google programs such ass free stick-figure animation, that will get your feet wet in the process and you can move on to bigger and better animators later on.
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. http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.com/monkeyjam If you're on a Mac, use Pencil(there's PC and Linux versions as well). http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/index.php 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. http://www.creatoon.com/index.php http://www.synfig.org/ Here are some online resources about the basic principles of animation. http://www.idleworm.com/how/index.shtml http://www.awn.com/tooninstitute/lessonplan/lesson.htm http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/05/media-preston-blairs-animation-first.html http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/05/media-preston-blairs-animation-1st.html http://www.karmatoons.com/drawing/1a.htm http://www.animationarena.com/principles-of-animation.html http://w ww.animationmeat.com/notes/notes.html
