Antics...
This is a brilliant program for anyone who has a story tell. The basic package is free to download. There are limited actors you can download, but I'm getting ahead of myself. If you haven't heard of antics before it's basically a way to make 3d animated story boards which can be out-putted into various formats, though the uncompressed file size is huge 45 seconds of uncompressed video will eat up 2.5GB!
I'm still trying to get to grips with this program but with a bit of time and the handy downloadable how to's everyone should be able to make movies in no time check out the site for more info.
