Animation programmes

Learned how to use programmes I have never had any experience until enrolling onto the myself. After effects, Maya, Flash, Premier and adobe bridge. I never really used these packages because I had no interest in them and their functions, but after using them I realise they are unique with animating, editing, illustrating and adding finishing touches to a finished animated piece, personally as an animator I never thought these packages were used professionally in the animating industry until I joined "BA Hons Animation" animated course. Now I use these packages everyday to practice my animation skills in my spare times and for projects, I feel they have given me skills I never possessed and have made me understand the effects they present on screen by experimenting with them, I don't know all the tools used but am still experimenting with these packages to develop my skills and understanding more.

Maya

    Adobe packages  

Here I am just talking about being able to use animation packages, reason being is because I want to understand the animation packages I use in more depth. I have watched a few tutorials on line to help me with the basics of using adobe packages such as; Photoshop, After Effects, Premier and illustrator, because I want to understand theses packages better mainly because these are the packages I want to use primarily because they work well with the type of traditional animation I do and are really good with effects.
