[[GoAnimate!]] is a website that allows people to make their own [[Animated Series|animated videos]], using a [[Flash Animation]] app. It has been used even by some noted Animation personalities such as [[Paul Dini]], who used it to produce his web series ''Super Rica and Rashy''. Signing up is free, though you must upgrade to a paid account (called GoPlus) if you want to have access to their full resources. You must be at least 13 years old to join.


There are two ways to make the videos. One is the "Quick Video Maker" which offers several ready-made "animated shorts" (some of which are based on licensed properties, like ''[[Star Trek]]'') with the settings and actions already selected, and a small cast of characters to choose from (different for each); all you have to do is write the dialogue.

There's also the "Full Featured Video Maker" that allows you to start from scratch and select almost everything by yourself- settings, actions, sounds, FX, etc. (though again, you have a limited cast to use.)

You can buy more characters to use (or create your own) using "GoBucks" ([[Fictional Currency|Virtual Money]] bought with real cash.) You can also use GoPoints, which are earned by fulfilling certain requirements (making certain videos, sharing them on Facebook, etc.) You can also post your videos on [[YouTube]], but that requires the GoPlus account. Note that the any videos you publish will have a watermark indicating they were made by [[Go Animate]] (though you can pay to have it removed.)
