My flatmate Iwan always uses a technique for his animation which make the lines move constantly so it has a hand drawn feel to it. This technique has been called adding a "boil". First you have to draw your character then add two more layers of retracing it. The lines never are exact but it is another step in staying away from making it look like flash. To me, most of the work is done in trying to make your piece look like it wasn't done in flash.
Most of my inspiration for my film has been through Rainbow Club's "Smokey the Monkey". You'll see that it has the boil effect throughout the entire thing.
thats a creative way to make it not look like flash. I'll have to write that down.
