Some senior dogs get very lucky

We're working hard on the next version of Timebox and thought you might enjoy this New Yorker story by Susan Orleans about dogs in the meantime.

Please let us know if you have any special requests for 3D models (links appreciated if you have them), templates, features or problems you’re having with the app.

Thanks for all your help making Timebox a better app!

Timebox Tutorials

We've been getting some questions from users asking how to do particular tasks in Timebox so we made some tutorials to help them. We'll be making more and will add them to the app under the Timebox icon and to our blog and FAQ.

Here’s a list of the current tutorial videos:

• Getting Started

• Choosing Animation Clips

• Seating an Avatar in a Chair

• Making an Avatar

• Making a Birthday Greeting

These tutorial videos and all future ones are available in this Vimeo Showcase:

• Timebox Tutorials Showcase

And please let us know if there are other tutorials that you’d like us to make. Thanks!

The Oscar Shortlist Interviews from Cartoon Brew

We found this fascinating series of articles from Cartoon Brew on our never ending quest to learn more about animation and we now want to watch all the films.

The questions asked of the directors focused on how the story or concept connected with them, what they learned and their visual approach.

We're not sure what tools the directors used but our goal with Timebox is to enable anyone especially non-experts to make animated movies inspired by their memories or imagination with their phones, tablets and desktops.
