Haven't had much time to write blog posts lately, so apologies about that. It seems that a lot of the animation blogs I keep tabs on have been quiet also as people quietly beaver away on their various productions. Good luck to you all, I say!
I have been trying to do some more tablet PC doodles and stuff, but my copy of Photoshop to know that I've done something I'm happy with and crashes before I can save the gitting image. I took the machine away on holiday and tried to do some 2D animation, (the lady next to me on the plane thought I was using an Etch-a-sketch!) but was so creatively knackered that nothing really came of it. From what I've seen so far Plastic Animation Paper looks to be a little unwieldy as you start to build up frames, but maybe I'm doing it wrong? A dope sheet would seem to be a better alternative to the film strip idea it supplies anyway. I've got a frame and I want to hold it, not make a zillion copies of the thing!
Anyway, I shall dive back in when time and laziness allow, and will post stuff at some point.

you could give this freeware a go. Monkey Jam. To hold a frame you just press CTRL and + and to reduce the duration of the hold you press CTRL and -
The only issue with Monkey Jam is that... you can't actually draw on it... You have to import the drawings from an other drawing application...
