Currently I shoot them with a super 8 camera and wait about a week before seeing results. Ive been looking for a decent pencil test alternative which with I wouldnt have to wait weeks to view. Ignatz Maouse. From what I have read, this is exacly how Disney Studios uses amigas. They digitize hand drawings using Digiview, then fine tune the motion using Disney Animation Studio (the software product). This software allows you to load and animate many frames in its black & white mode using special compression techniques (better that the ANIM format used by other Amiga software). I have also heard of artists using Digiview with Photon Cell Animator for this same purpose. Jim Lange Oracle Corporation
