I am fascinated by this movie about string theory. What kind of software did they use to create the animations? What would you suggest to create similar movies ?

Flash is a very powerful program, but FlashDevelop is a free, open source, application to create 2D animations compatible with Flash.

Interesting, but quite unstable :( – Stefano Borini – 2009-07-21T12:11:06.427

That particular video was created using Adobe Flash. It's fairly easy to make the same kinds of movies with Flash, but the IDE is commercial, so if you were looking for free software you're out of luck (although I'm sure there are free alternatives to it somewhere). I wouldn't really be able to recommend any other alternatives to Flash for making animations, because it doesn't get much better.
Do you think flash is overkill for the casual user ? (not much for the price, rather for the time needed to use it proficiently). I'm not planning to throw $699 into it, I think it's too much. just curious. – Stefano Borini – 2009-07-21T02:14:41.367
In all honesty, yes I do. But I don't know of a free alternative. – Sasha Chedygov – 2009-07-21T03:20:36.680
I suggest piracy, uhhh borrowing! – Ivo Flipse – 2009-07-21T07:33:23.580
