I'm not afraid of making movies. I've fiddled with the animation functions, and find them quite fascinating and yes, EASY to use. With me, it's just that I'm more interested in scenes than in making them move.

Another issue is the time it takes to make an animation. My scenes are usually extremely detailed with lots of backgrounds and props, and it just takes far longer to animate these than the result seems to justify. I suppose if there was something I really WANTED to animate, that would justify the time spent, but so far, I've not hit on anything.
