Best Comic Animation – 1st Prize
The Curious Child
created by Howard Vause
Winner Howard Vause shares his thoughts on using Crazy Talk Animator:
“I’m barely scratching the surface with CTA3 at the moment – but it is enough to recognise that CTA3 is a great match for my own way of working because of it’s smooth integration with Photoshop and it’s ability to easily mix in video material.
If you love 2D animation I’d say get stuck into it! There is a learning curve which gets steeper at more advanced levels, but for the novice who wants to create quick animations it is very accessible.”

Welcome to Odesa

Winner Viktoriya shares her thoughts on using Crazy Talk Animator:
Welcome to Odessa was actually my first 2d animated project and my first real experience with CrazyTalk Animator. It was pleasure to work with CTA, and what I liked the most is that I’ve made this project entirely on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (no Nvidia card). CTA is by far the fastest and easiest 2D software to use!”

Animation always draws me closer. Its movement really looks great. The above works were really amazing here. But I’d like to see Garry Pye’s work differently. He showed his work in such an interesting way.
Great tutorial and very easy to follow. I really like how you achieved the end result without a lot of effort. Thanks for sharing.
