How to create "2d" animation?
Im EXTREMELY interested in animation, i really love everything about it and hope to work for Pixar one day. However i jumped into the 3d CGI animation world and its too much to conquer so fast and by myself. Im going to school for that when i get the money however right now i thought 2d animation would be better. Things like Spongebob, Simpsons, older cartoons etc...
Well im very skilled in drawing something then going over it in photoshop CS2, i now have a drawing tablet to help me do that. I just need help on HOW to animate. Ive seen storyboards, ive seen flash, ive seen it all but how do they do it? Is it as simple as 3d where you have keyframes?
Programs i have and know how to use. Photoshop cs2, after effects, Flash, 3ds Max, anime studio, Animation Master and a few others... Some of theese (flash, animation studio) have 2d effects but is it the same?
I create comics so i got the talent to write, draw, and create worlds. I just need help on bringing them to life.

Yes, it is as simple as keyframes (or tweens in Flash)... However... It totally depends on the style of animation you are going for. I've done animation in Flash using keyframes and I've included the link, but, as you can see, animating this way looks very far from professional unless you REALLY put a lot of detail into it. I didn't. But for a two month project, I think it turned out pretty well. Anyway, in order to make something that is truly impressive, I would suggest doing frame-by-frame in Flash with extreme attention to detail and motion. This is just my suggestion, and I have seen tweening animation that is actually very professional looking (usually on Adult Swim), but they are few and far in between.

Yes, it's the same (sort of). 2d and 3d only differs on the perception but the animation is basically the same.
