Wow jetty, that was actually really good! I suggest you work on the physics a little, and make it a bit less stiff. besides that the camera effects are also very nice but could use some work aswell.


okei stiffness.. what do u mean by that? any tips? or give me a link where this has been duscussed already. also about the physics? what are the main things that i am doing wrong?(how fast should the guy be falling down ans stuff..)

Stiffness is when you don't move every joint in every frame. In animation, if something's not moving it looks wrong, even if it wouldn't be moving in real life.

Maybe a walking tutorial instead of a madness animation that you are not good at yet.

Really quite choppy, try not to worry about effects and stuff at the moment. It looks like you a have a small sense of easing, but you have to apply it more. It's annoying, yeah, but you have to do it, or you'll never improve. Practice smaller tests.

Stiff, not much easing, it doesn't really look like a punch either. You should probably stay with 2-D, eh?

Holy shit I just notice that your name was Cinnamonbun and not Cinnabon. Or did you get a name change?

You'll probably be better off making a run loop so you can get the movement right. He needs to spend time in the air for a run, and threre should be a change in speed with the legs.

Foot placement was bad, maybe you should add a floor. Your movements are really wrong, like Zed said, make a run loop. He should also be leaning slightly foreward, but with his head up. The back is stiff, but I don't think you should worry about that now. While animating you really have to overexaggerate the easing, no matter how weird it seems. You seem to have been working in Pivot a lot but haven't really got the easing thing down yet, which is one of the most crucial compotents to animating.

what do yeah think of this...
Imagei havn't been animating in ages because all my animation have been like shit on a shingle and this is the only vaguely exeptable animation i've done in ages. Hopefully i may start making good ones again, with time.

Needs more of everything. More easing, more back joints, more movements, just give me more. I remember the days when you'd have done three times as many frames as that on the anticipation.
