Well, I was going to wait for Piedoom to say something to this, but he hasn't been on in a couple of days... I'm going to have to lean on him when I have the time. Yes, animators are something we need. Same with modelers. The few we have either have dual (or more) roles, or I haven't heard from in some time.
PIEDOOM!
IF YOU CAN HEAR MY INTERNET-SHOUTING GET YOUR LAZY ABS OVER HEAR AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS APPLICATION!
Right, enough silliness. I personally don't know much about animation, so I can't really say much here. But AMT and Mr. Doom may have a thing or two to say when they get back. I'll start leaning on them.
Also, like I said I don't know much about animation, but we do most of our work in blender because we have very few professionals, and a budget of what is donated, which thus far is nothing. I don't know if that will be a problem or not.
