Animated Videos

[spearball]

Hey all. Im not too sure if this goes here but here it goes...

My question is how can i make an animated movie. For example take the introduction of blizzards movie of world of warcraft when u first start the game. Any software i can use, how is it done? Is it done in the same way that the animated videos like the movie happy feet for instance?

Thanks guys

Edit: Here is the example i am talking about......

Well. It definitely takes more than one person. And years of experience.

Trying to take on a task like making an animated short can take up to a year or even 2 years, for a short 30 minute or less clip. If you want to learn more about it, check out Bryce

Well thanks for the info. I can just imagine how long it takes to make movies and stuff but i didn't mean it in the way that i wanted to start out making a movie like that. Lol. Just planning to install some software and play around with it and maybe make something very, very small to start out.

Bryce is a software to make animated movies right? Is it the one you would recommend to start with? I even heard about maya and cinema 4d. Also a question thats bugging me. I watched some videos and stuff but i was wondering... Don't you first have to make textures and models before you animate them? Is 3d studio max a good software for that?

Thanks again
