When your Work is Built around Animation

I am a graphic and UI designer, so I love animation art as it is a great source of inspiration. Sometimes it seems to me that animation becomes the more and more popular language of our days. Anyway, it's hard to deny that an artistic animation takes a lot of time and energy. Moreover, you need to get a proper education and read a lot about new soft that extends your knowledge about animation effects and so on. 

But what if you don't want to take this long path, what if you have different interests in your life but still want to try some animation technology. Honestly, it would be better if it's online, even better if it's free, and, please, in easy words. 

Right now we are working on the animation maker app - CLILK. I enjoy working on it because I understand, how easy it has become to create visual novels, animated stories, and cartoons, especially anime series. 

Suddenly it turned out that there is a whole community of people who want to animate and create truly interesting projects. So now we call it CLILK community. It may look like playing with dolls online, but it's more than this. Clilk app turned into a creative platform for people with an active imagination. 

The process is super easy: 

• open the editor, 
• choose stickers and backgrounds for your animation, 
• put them on the scene, 
• add actions: motions, text balloons, labels, audio,
• manipulate the time of shots on the timeline to create animation effects
• publish and build your community of animation friends. 

In a while, we discovered that the CLILK platform turned into a movie platform not only for creating content but also for watching it, like an alternative youtube. We plan to develop the platform and add a search engine to it. Will see, if it can become an independent world for animation lovers.

If you got interested in this project, let me know, what you think! Especially, if it's easy to use or not. We are looking for new inspiration and insights.
