I have no idea where to start with this one so I'll try here. I want to make a short educational animation. It doesn't have to be super flashy but I want to be able to show it to the general public and not hang my head in shame. I don't have anyone with this knowhow who can mentor me. I am prepared to pay a small amount (£150-300 say) to have someone help me or buy software. There are a plethora of 'free' (but not that free when you get into it) and low cost options out there but I need to cut it down to 2-3 I can choose between. The ones I've been looking at are those aimed at small business and I think that seems like the sort of thing I want, but does anyone who has done this before have advice to share????
