Anyone here tried the goanimate.com Star Trek program?

This was mentioned over at trekmovie, but has anyone here tried the goanimate.com star trek program? I've been playing with it for a bit and think it's really fantastic. Whoever designed it has a clear love for TOS. The little details are really amusing, and a lot of things are possible if you play around with the program.

If anyone has tried it, would you care to share your animations.

Here's my first attempt. It's simple, but fun

My favorite I've seen so far was this, and it is not mine....

It's cute. I look forward to messing around with it. The animated Enterprise is a winner.
 
I tried doing one, this isn't easy as it may seem, because you have to buy certain items, like Klingon crew members , with points, if you're new you have ZERO points to spend on stuff, however with some creativeness one could fake a new TAS episode using this thing I'm sure :cool:

Actually, it gives you all but four of the (minor) characters. You can also upload your own stuff. I mean, if you want a Klingon, Khan, a Green Girl and Mirror Spock, you have to earn points or buy stuff, but you get most of the goodies for free. I had enough points to buy the Klingon after two days of views on my one animation.

Here's a revised version of my first animation, now with Klingons!

Here's another one I did.

It seems like it is dropping some of the dialogue for some reason.

I have found that sometime elements "disappear" during edits: notably zooms and effects. Also, when previewing from in the editor, it gets sluggish and sometimes it looks wrong, but it looks fine when viewed from the main interface. What I suggest doing is saving it but setting it as private until you're done. That way you can save, step out of the editor, have a look, then go back in and edit some more.

The thing that most makes these come to life is to make sure the characters are always responding to what's happening...and to make sure you make them "talk" when they have dialog.

:lol: Great. I think I'd have actually loved to see the Star Trek, P.I., as the real opening.
