Quote:If I have to "paint", then I will need to use static objects, right?
An animation is made up of individual static images (no 'objects' as such in Gimp, you must have been looking at some other graphics application) Same with a video, it is made from static frames.
Many of those complicated animations you see around the internet start life as video clips converted and simplified to gif image format.
You can paint in anything you like, just makes it more tedious, maybe 4 or 6 layers (the parts of a small animation) replacing each single layer. You want something better, look at your first example, that has 144 layers. For my example replace each layer with those 144 in the appropriate position.
You can do that using layer groups / duplicating / moving but you will end up with one monster file.
Quote:how can I implement animated objects?
With great difficulty for an animation in an animation. You probably better off with some other type of graphics application such as Blender

Hopefully someone will come up with beginner-type suggestions.
