An Affordable Start in Animation

I don't know about you, but I'm already about $1,000 over my holiday spending limit - and that's before my partner and I take our holiday trip to Vegas. I've covered everyone else's gifts, but I still need to get a few things for myself - including new art supplies, more RAM for my laptop, and a cheap 3D motion capture program for an upcoming client project. Luckily there are quite a few ways to shave off excess expenses without cutting too many corners on quality and functionality.
