Hi Everyone, I'm Smoky Mt Rain from the mountains of East Tennessee, USA. I'm a 55 year old widow. I work long hours taking care of elderly and disabled but get a blessing from it. I love animation and really want to learn how to do it. The wonderful group I belong to is probably not going to move so I decided to find another one. In my search I came across this group and it sounded great. Thanks for letting me join. I also joined another group. Now I'm going to look around and get familiar with with things here. Blessings, SmokyMtRain

Hi there Smoky Mt Rain.
Welcome from the Management and Members of Animation Lessons. By now you should have read Information and Rules and if there is anything that you don't understand, please do ask.

Images permitted to be used :
1. We have over 5000 Safe tubes, made for members by members Safe Tubes . This area also includes tubes by Bag Puss Owl, please read her TOU because we only host her tubes, they are not part of our collection.

2. Any artist that is considered a general permission artist, TOU clearly written on their sites.

3. Any artist that requires that you contact them for personal permission via e-mail.
You may well be asked to produce proof you have Permission to use an Artists work and that you have followed the correct TOU ( Terms of Use)

4. Any PTU artist that you have a license to use. Your license number and url of the artist must be clearly visible.

5. You may use images from an adult artist.....BUT you MUST NOT use any adult images. We are G-rated and take this seriously...we do have younger members and senior members. So please no Nekkid ladies or gents, sexy Sigs, or Images with too much skin showing. Cover them up, if you must use an image. If these are your desire, there are many other forums which would be far more suitable.

6. Animation Lessons does not have a list of site permission artists. For this reason you need to acquire your own permissions. Site permissions are not transferable. If you want to use art, from artists on another site's permissions list, you will have to contact these artists yourself, to ask their permission.

Lessons:
They are designed to be done in sequence and commence Lessons . If there are areas that you are familiar with, just go to the next lessons. Please post your results so we can cheer you on or help you with any problems.

Deletions:
If at any time you do have a graphic deleted please be aware we have ALL had graphics deleted, we do not discriminate between Managers or Members and we have all learned to be aware of copyright or ask prior to spending hours on an animation. Please do not take it personally. We are here to keep the Group safe. A full explanation will be given for all deletions.

Personal copyrights:
PLEASE NOTE....ALL Graphics including any you make from scratch must have the proper credits on them.....If you have a personal photo and you animate it ...your credits would be ©YOU.

Questions:
We do hope you enjoy being with us. There are no stupid questions and the question you are thinking of asking has probably been asked many times before....if not we will probably learn from it. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask
