Toon Boom Animation Inc., a 2012 and 2005 Primetime Emmy^® Engineering Award recipient, has announced the release of Flip Boom Lite™, the first animation app designed for Windows 8. As a free app, Flip Boom Lite enables anyone to learn and teach animation on-the-go, as well as share videos and photos on Facebook, YouTube and more.

“At Toon Boom, we continue to expand our portfolio of fun and intuitive applications to facilitate the creation of user-generated content anytime and anywhere,” says Joan Vogelesang, president and chief executive officer of Toon Boom.

With Flip Boom Lite’s multi-touch gestural interface, use your fingers to create animation in a natural and intuitive way. Compatible with Microsoft Surface and any other Windows 8 mobile devices, Flip Boom Lite is perfect for creating playful projects and animated videos.

• Draft accurate drawings with the multi-touch interface
• Create animated sequences of drawings with the multi-frame timeline
• Learn how to animate quickly and easily, and use it as a teaching tool

Toon Boom is also creating a brand new Showcase website that will show off the creations of talented animators who use Toon Boom software, and they would like you to share your animations.

It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or have years of animation experience, send us your amazing works of art. You don’t have to be a professional animator —  we would love to see your work if you’re using Toon Boom and/or Flip Boom programs to help you learn animation for fun or as a hobby. Just tell us a little bit about yourself, your animation and which Toon Boom animation software you made your cartoon with: Click here to learn more about how to submit.

If your submission is selected, we will help promote your work on the Showcase through Toon Boom’s social media channels to animation communities all around the world.
