Making a movie with Digital Puppets

 * Once you finish the basic introduction to filmmaking course, then you can start to make an animated version of the short motion picture "Seduced by the Dark Side".


 * I will help you with each step. To make this easier for me, we will all work with the same materials.

Poser
Poser is not free but it is a better animation program than DAZ Studio. But free is free so we will use DAZ Studio.
