There is also a PDF booklet that I have prepared called "Animation Student's Guide to Animation Desks" which may be downloaded by clicking on the link. You can peruse that album for ideas on how you might set up your own workspace. There are many different configurations of desks, some of which I have shown in the web album Animation Desks gallery in the sidebar links. One of the basic items you need to animate is an animation desk or a lightbox.
