Hi Folks,
i was lurking here in the forum for quite some time now and i finally decided to be part of this awesome community XD.
I'm experienced in 3D animation but really want to get in touch with 2D as well. I REALLY love the animation style of Vanillaware games (Odin Sphere, Muramasa, Kumatanchi, Grim Grimoire....). It combines rather static cutout animations with amazing classical sprite animations in order to create a quite unique style...
Here is some footage so you know what i'm talking about

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEMBRpd9c98 Odin Sphere
My question here is, does anyone have good ressources/tutorials on how to work with this method? I can't really imagine a good workflow for that like when to ecactly change sprites and what program to use. I tried out ToonBoom which has some rather interesting features.
I also found some cutout sprite sheets and created some myself from the gif animations i was able to fin the the internet.
So thanks in advance and hopefully you guys can help me out ^-°
