I’m interested in creating some very low-fi animation and would appreciate recommendations for the software I should use. The style would be similar to South Park but less elaborate—really not much more complicated than this sample I created. I would particularly like to be able to automate the mouth movements. I’m on a Mac and am willing to purchase the software. Thanks.
You might try Pencil - it’s free.
I’m hoping there’s something (relatively) easy to use that can greatly simplify animating mouths to the dialogue.
