  Once upon a time in the old shabby home by the forest, there was a man named Jim. This young fellow didn't know what the outside world looked like. His Basement resembled a very aged cave inhabited by the creatures called 'Garapata'. The Garapatas were very kind to Jim for they believe that he was a very special kind of warrior, destined to free them from exile. But Jim had other plans in mind. He was going to escape that forest, in case of the long foretold rebellion led by the dirty Drift. This story troubled young Jim, as he wasn't ready for this undertaking, neither were the Garapatas but he realized he had to continue on his journey to kill Drift and perhaps, if fortune held, help free the Garapatas from their exile. But standing between young Jim and Drift was an impassable ridge which resembled death itself. It had eyes and a gaping maw along its cavernous enclosure. The only way to cross was to find and combine the penises they possess. One by one they lined up to donate their penises with hopes that it would help them cross the ridge. But alas the Garapatas had very small penises. Their penis chi was not great enough to erect the bridge they were planning

  Glad to see you are getting into Pivot! Looks like you are just getting started so please continue to mess around with the program, and get comfortable with it.

  
  

  Beyond that, my advice is to keep practicing. See if you can get a basic walk cycle down. Or see if you can get a guy running realistically.

  As you improve, try animating more than just one body part at a time. You want to eventually get to a point where every joint in a figure is being animated at least a little bit in each frame, even if he isn't making big movements. This will go a long way to help things look realistic. Hope that helps! Keep it up!

  The majority of animation work is being done on a big strong computer with heavy serious software such as Maya or After Effects. But as an independent animator, there are certain smaller apps that make my life a bit easier and contribute to the larger creating process.

  
  

  Here is a list of my favorite apps that I use in different production stages:

  
  

  CeltxCeltx

  Celtx is a great script writing app that works on all devices (desktop, iOS) and is the only screenwriting I actually enjoyed doing on an iPad. The app syncs online which enables you to switch between different devices whenever you want.

  “I want to be an animator/do animation. Where do I start?”

  
  

  Instead of directing you to our Making an Animated Movie series, our awesome beginners page, our selection of animation courses, or even our YouTube channel, I decided to write this guide to cover (almost) everything you might need to know when trying to get into the animation industry.
