Happy New Year!
Well, 2014 was a game-changer for the entire animation industry, and CelAction was right at the centre of it!
We released an affordable tool for professional storyboarding, CelAction Animatic, based on what working storyboarders really need in their software. We joined forces with Digital Video to resell and market the amazing Toonz Harlequin and Toonz Bravo packages. So now animators have a real choice for all aspects of 2D animation production.
In 2015, the world will see the results of our Vectrinsic technology when the new series of Mr. Bean - The Animated Adventures hits TV screens everywhere. We've been lucky enough to see a sneak peak of some episodes, and we can confirm that this series will be amazing.
Version 4 of CelAction2D just gets better and better - one of the advantages of being a truly independent company is that we are free to release a new version when we want to, when we think it's ready, not by the end of a financial year or before an earnings report to make share prices rise. Version 4 is going to be special, very special, so watch this space!
Happy New Year, everyone!
