Fuzzwich (YC summer 07) launches a new look and previews Animator

This is Ryan from Fuzzwich. Check out the screencast at <a href="http://www.fuzzwich.com/animator" rel="nofollow">http://www.fuzzwich.com/animator</a> if you have not already. The Fuzzwich Animator is the start and the foundation of our new online animation studio. We're very excited by the new focus and look forward to inviting everyone to animate in the near future. We're also very curious to your feedback, so please sound off!

Looks really good, like the new direction.<p>I've a quibble with your screencast though - I can't pause it. It kept stopping and starting to buffer. It'd be much better to be able to stop it like a youtube video and let it load before watching.

I've always liked Fuzzwich, especially the goofy stuff that people come up with, just using the simple tools. I've used it to make birthday "cards" for people.<p>I can't wait to see a Geico Commerical done with Fuzzwich one day.<p>Ryan, make it happen!

I'm uber proud to be a YC alum when I see this kind of talent in the portfolio companies. You guys are fantastic artists. I'm excited to see the animator take off.<p>After you IPO Fuzzwich, you guys should be making film.

Great site; I always thought that user-generated animation has the possibility to become huge. And being able to create animations from withing the browser... wow!<p>Like with HTML, it would be great if there was some way of doing "View Source" and be able to build on somebody else's animation.

Congrats Fuzzwich guys!<p>One question: will Fuzzwich Animator still have the same try-before-you-register feature as the original Fuzzwich? As another comment mentioned, the value proposition isn't immediately obvious without playing with Fuzzwich, so some sort of no-risk-no-hassle trial could do a lot to let people decide if Fuzzwich works for what they want to do.

Very cool! Glad to see someone trying to bring animation to the masses

Couple of things I've observed<p>- what is a "portfolio"? I think I know what you mean but it's a bit of a mouthful. Do you need a non shop-talk word to replace it?<p>- no controls on the playback sample I can't FF or see where in the stream I am. Do your playback mechanisms have controls like say YouTube?<p>- really like the "Pythonesque" animation in the demo (got a chuckle) can you show "even" more styles as you discover them?<p>- can you caption? If you can caption you can make comics.<p>I'd say there is legs in this idea because it's making what "artists" want ~ <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=129616" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=129616</a>

awesome new look guys, huge evolutionary step. Love the twisp and catsby annimation, too. :)

This is really awesome. Best of luck guys!

Holy crap is it easy to sink time with those animations/videos. I want to use it!

Thank you fuzzies. You have made what I plan to do much, much easier.

fyi, the favicon is still the old logo
