Firstly Hi everyone, I hope you guys are well.

OK, I'm very new to animation and stuff like this but do have experience on video editing, green screen and audio (not a high level though).

I'm looking for advice please (feel free to move this into correct part of forum if wrong).

Basically I'm looking to do some animation and make short animated videos (5-15 mins long) and progress from there.

Now bearing in mind I'm a beginner, what product would I best be getting to help start me off please. 

My son (13) is also very interested in this as future possible career snd would be good for us both to try along side his studies (some specific to this).

I have a new PC on the way and feel now is a good time to start this. 

Any help and guidance will be greatly received and feel free to ask me anything in relation to this.

Thanks in advance. 

Kind Regards 
Jason
