Hello there Ross. I've been a huge fan of your animations for a few months now, thanks to Egoraptor and such, and I've just wanted to know, what motivates ideas, and which kind of operating system do you use to animate your videos? I've wanted to make animations for a very long time, and soon I'll get started, thanks to your inspiration. Thanks!

Great to see you’re considering getting into animation Mr Anonymous!, I hope you can make wonderful art some day!

As for what motivates ideas?  Just experiences really.  Be it a satire about Batman farting or an artistic piece about mental illness, it all likely comes from joking around with friends or a personal experience.  Though when I have to write, I generally put a lot of thought into it when I’m having a shower or driving in the car.  When you let your mind wonder great things can accumulate.  

I animate in Windows 7, I’ve never been a Mac guy.. To be perfectly honest I hate using Macs.  Don’t hate, I just can’t stand them in the slightest.   

Also if you missed it, here’s that list of Flash tutorials to get you started.
