- 1). Visit Dvolver (formerly Dfilm) and build an animated film comprised of different customized scenes. The Dvolver template lets you choose a setting and sky separate to set the mood of the piece. Then you choose from different character avatars that will appear in the film. Each character can get one or more lines, which appear as cartoon balloons. You must select a "plot" type for when the lines are delivered during the characters' actions. This creates a single scene. Multiple scenes may be constructed in this way. At the end, you select a title design for showing off the film's credits. Then you can preview the results and optionally email people a link to the film. Dvolver is a great way to set up an original animated film quickly.
- 2). Design your animated film at Digital Films if you seek more control over your content. The Digital Films interface offers similar features to other online animation sites. You select a background and setting, choose day or night and then select from character avatars. You have more control over characters' type of hair, clothing and facial features. Additionally, you can select from character moods for each part of a scene. You plot actions for each character and optionally provide dialog. The Digital Films interface is more time-consuming and not as straightforward, but it may prove the best option for those with a clear vision of what their characters should do in each scene.
- 3). Create spoken dialog in your animated films using the innovative features provided by Xtranormal. This site provides the tools necessary to create an animated scene, including predesigned character avatars and settings. However, the program automatically transforms your typed dialog into actual spoken words to create a more engaging experience. This novel approach is entertaining for both the film's creators and its audience as characters seem to come alive using your own original dialog. The process of creating a film with Xtranormal takes longer as the website must process the typed text before a preview of the film is possible. But the results may be worth the extra effort.
