How do they make these animation videos?

[KiddieToysReview]

What software and tools do they use to make kids animation such as this? It looks so professional, as good as anything on TV. Does this need a professional studio with professional animators, or is there software and resources available that the non animator can make these?

Obviously this is not GTA reskin, as was discussed in my previous post....

Thanks!!

It helps to have a team because animations like this are so layered and complex (tracking, shading, modeling, camera work, etc) but really it comes down to having the right programs and the talented group to produce it for you.

I say group because for one person to do something like that, it will take you a WHILE. And not to mention you'll need to know the entire process of that sort of animation production like I listed above. Most people just specialize in a certain area.

There are free programs that allow you to do this, but this definitively seem like the kind of job a professional with professional tools would make. Probably more than a person worked on it.

Animation that look like that, that programs cost thousands of dollars hah. But if you wanna do simple animations, sony vegas is good with photoshop if you're kinda experienced with it. Also I heard blender can work. I'm not much of an animator

I was kinda hoping there's an "easy" way to get started but still have ok results, but yes that looks so professional I would expect a group of people are making them![DOUBLEPOST=1474148927,1474148431][/DOUBLEPOST]

like everyone said that would be maid by a huge team and was probably very expensive
Blender is a free animation software
