Ok, so I'm finished with making my stickman do a punch.

Here it is, advice would be Great.

Thanks for Watching.

Easing is the key!

I kinda explained it in the running thread. Make small movements followed by bigger. Like when you accelerate. You don't start and end at top speed. You have to go slow first, and stop slow so won't crash into another car.

Also, make the punch at the end, like three frames, where the aerm goes down just a little bit. Then it'd look great.

Damn, dude. You've got real potential.

Also speed up the animation =P

So basically what your trying to say is, at the beginning,

Make the arms move "slow" (1-2inchs) and after like 3-4 slides, make the other slides fast like 3-4inchs each??

and when the punch ends, make 3more slides with the arm that was used to punch, go down??

EXACTLY!

You're going to do grerat i tell ya.

Oh, and when you save it as a gif, make sure to do it:

Speed 6(!)
Merge uncheched
Size: 1/2, but looks thats already fixd.

Oh and you do that for the whole body.

Also, after you master basic easing, start with stiffness, make stuff anticipate and move to mak it flow each frame, unless it's not part of the body.

Hmm, stiff is what I don't get...

By stiff, you mean, like make like every single part of the stickman move?? Instead of moving just 1??

Ahh, you use pivot 3?

Yeah Pivot 3...

Gotta go, be back later...

Yes, aba, u got stiffness, mostly..its wehn u dont move each and EVERY joint in EACH frame
so to make it smooth, u have to move each joint in each frame
