The first step, in this project, was to design the character. For that matter, I used 2 Librem laptops and 2 Wacom tablets. The goal of this project was to make a cute production identity intro in the same style as Pixar or Illumination Studios, but with hand made animations instead of 3D computer graphics. This particular animation was commissioned to me, during the summer, by a young french film production called Baze Production. Below I will go through the workflow of making a simple hand made 2D animation. Nice, with just these two features and tools released, I had everything I needed to do traditional animations again with my Librem based digital studio. That same year, the software Toonz, that was used by the legendary Studio Ghibli for clean up and coloring purpose, was released as free software under the name of OpenToonz. Krita, as an example, released an animation feature that made it the perfect tool for making rough animations. I have been using free software for 6 years and each year these freedom respecting professional tools I use seem to improve faster than the commercial proprietary pace. Professional animation is not just possible but ideal with free software, this story shares what is possible running PureOS, Librem laptops, and accessories.
