Thumbs up Competitions Need Prizes - I'll give the winner a free copy of DigiCel FlipBook!

Don,

This is a great idea and I'd like to help support it. So if you'll let me I'll give the winner a free copy of DigiCel FlipBook Studio (list price $299). And if they already have it I'll give them a free upgrade to the latest release or to FlipBook Pro.

And here's something else we'll try, just for the first round, to help this get started. I'll give anybody that needs/wants it a free temporary copy of FlipBook that will last until the deadline for the first project. All I ask is the right to post your entries on our web site.

So now you guys (and gals) don't have any excuses. You've got free software to help you do the work and free direction from one of the all time masters. So if you're serious about animation this is an opportunity you won't want to miss out on.

I would definitely like to test out temporary copy If you would let me, I may not be the greatest animator right now but with your program I think I can get some serious practice in .

I do have a basic copy as it was recommended by Animation Mentor. Pretty cool program! I still have to play with it more myself.

My hat's off to Kent from Digicel! What an amazing prize for the winner, and to also offer temporary licenses for anyone that wants to participate in the Cyber Garage competition is truly outstanding.
I can give you first hand experience that the Flipbook program is one of the most user friendly software programs I have ever used. Literally, within one hour of installation on my PC, I was watching the scanned drawings come to life before me on the screen. Within one week, I was comfortably navigating my way through some pretty difficult scenes utilizing Flipbook. One more thing I should mention about Digicel... The customer service is 100% solid. On some of the more elaborate camera moves involved in one of my scenes, technical support for Digicel talked me through the process over the phone and didn't charge me a dime for the hour or so we spoke.
Truly magnificent company and excellent software!
Good to see you in the Forum Digicel...

Thank you very much for your generous offer. I'm delighted that you have shown support for the Cyber Garage Project. I believe the experience of animating on paper the traditional way will not only be an eye opener for many of the students, but I think they will also develop artistically by picking up the pencil once again. If this project proves to be a great success, I intend to launch others like it. We'll see where it goes. I'm very optimistic!

In the past we have used Flipbook on our commercial projects and it's the best 2D software I've discovered to date for traditional animation. Thank you for all the countless hours that you have invested to develop it
I'm glad to be teaming with you once again.

Thanks,
Don
