Q: What skills do you need to get animating?
A: You have to be an obsessive control freak with no social life basically! Animation attracts quiet, low-key people who are happy to work away in relative obscurity with little contact with the outside world. Focus, the ability to mentally break down an action into frame by frame movements, and a grim determination to see things through to the bitter end are useful qualites, as are very short fingernails and a vampirish aversion to daylight.

Good thing I've started learning flash...
