you should at least make the aliens the right color, they're not all black :|


- if you stop one arm, you don't have to slow down the other
- don't move a limb one way then have move the other way the next frame. use easing
- too stiff
- hand was animated wrong and stiffly

don't be lazy on tests
GIVE EACH ANIMATION 100% IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE
you don't want to stay in the beginner's section the whole time you're at spp do you? and it doesn't take that much effort to change the color of a stick, unless you have some sort of disability

EXAMPLE OF ARM THING YOU DO:
you move both arms at the same time
one slows down
so does the other, because it mimics the same exact movements of another arm. this is something that most beginners do, and it makes the animation seem more choppy and stiff

yes, stiffness

THE HAND. YOU KNOW, THAT THING THAT HIT THE WATCH IN THE CLOSE UP? DO YOU KNOW WHAT A HAND IS? DO YOU HAVE ANY SHORT TERM MEMORY?

Hi all. just joined forums and made this Pivot3 Animation .

and looking at all you others i see that it's pretty stiff etc.
But i think it's nice for a first-timer :D

It's my first ever.

There's a storyline to the characters, but you're right about there not being a point. I just animate for fun. I don't know how to make it less uneased.
