This week in AWN's Forums, a user would like to create the illusion that something is being drawn on the screen live -- for instance, like someone writing something on a blackboard, or a star being "drawn" above someone's head. Anyone have any ideas? A freelance animator is looking into branching out into using other kinds of software for different effects. Who out there has favorites they'd like to share? Someone who wants to get a graduate degree in animation wants to know what to include in their still portfolio and showreel.

As well as, tools for teaching animation, the business of animation and, as always, brand-new stuff to check out in show and tell!
