@David Strover,

You can start right away with Xara DPX. File, New, Animation (Shift+Ctrl+N), read the instructions. You have to name any objects that you want to animate. Check the manual for more details. It is quite simple really. You can add in a background image.

Enjoy!
John

I was thinking of trying my hand at some simple animation to see if I have an aptitude for it or not, do you have any recommendations as to a particular software - I have to be honest I find very few 'designery-type' software intuitive apart from Xara which I just seemed to pick up.
