TVPaint (Paperless animation)

I've been using TvPaint for a few months now and finally purchased a copy for use in production around October.
Not only is TvPaint the best, paperless animation software but the company and it's online community are super active and approachable.
Especially Elodie and Fabrice, who have both been very helpful with some of my questions, inquiries etc.
My primary use is on the Asus Ep121 slate Pc Tablet. I use an Axiotron Studio Pen by Wacom
and a 12 dollar bluetooth keyboard that is as light as a pack of matches and about the size of an iphone. Mainly for some hotkeys and functions that would be a pain to use on the virtual keyboard. Aside from using it for production, I sketch out little animation tests that keep me limber and offer new or improved insight into timing, spacing, etc that I can apply to later projects, especially when I work in Maya.

And this little quote pretty much sums it up. It's classical animation moved into the digital realm.

It's important to note that, unlike Flash, TVPaint has no "smart" functions that "animates" for you. There's no automatic inbetweening or auto-correction/smoothing of lines. No actions, motion-clips or libraries.
