Could someone help me please?

I want to make a gif/flash movie of about 10 minutes length for a friend of mine. I have no experience whatsoever with this!!
Can i use a gif animator, or are those only for short 'movies', and are there any decent freeware flash/gif animators?

thanks,
Jos

Well for gifs if you're using PS then you have Imageready included.
But for size of overall a question if you use mac maybe think of combining pieces of gif or quicktime don't know about flash using Imovie.

thanks Vokaris, Splodge, Martrex.

I want to make an animation, kinda like South Park, with drawn and real images mixed. It's not for the web, just disc. And i don't use a mac .

Then you still can use photoshop/imageready to do the frame by frame work then with no audio. Can be saved as gif or Quicktime
then some free movie software to put them together and add audio. Such as:

looks like a Flash project to me. Most of it can be vector based which will save on the file size.
What about Toon Boom? or Bauhaus Mirage?

if you are saving to disc you dont have a problem, use imageready? dont be afraid of using the "delete animation btn" then the "make frames from layers" btn, scaeres the crap out of most learners, that's why they have so many skips in the animation, just do it

thanks vokaris, splodge.

i just reinstalled ps 6.0 to try imageready

I think that imageready is definitely not you friend in this situation. If i was doing it id go with flash or after effects or try toon boom studio.
Just a note: 10 minutes = 600 seconds =14 400 frames at 24FPS in a (in my opinion) not so friendly animating environment.
Anyways, good luck
