CC? :] Sorry for double post D;

That's a pretty nice piece for testing looseness and easing. I can't fault it for what it is. Perhaps you should try some more advanced stuff.

Damn ghost, you get better everytime I turn my head. Good job dude you should make a thread for it.

Stance+cartoony(edd ed,n,eddy)style eyes
i was reading some flash tuts(dont ask y)and it said a stickman should always start with a stance sooo.......here is one!

How am i on easing?

I disagree any pre determained stance makes it seem like there is less flow because of the lack of movement.

The stance seems to stagger a little, and it's a little bit stiff. You should try to slow it down a bit.

Easing is the single most important part of an animation

seriously what is it people with easing?!
Chapter One, part one:
What is easing?
Easing is a way to show dissipating momentum by slow spacing. Easing is also guideline for beginners. A way to get the basics drilled into their heads. Think of it as an animation principle. If a beginner were to never find out about easing, chances are he/she will never improve. Do not let this make you think that easing is necessary throughout your whole animation career. Once you become good enough, you realize you don't even need easing for every situation. You become aware that all you need is the proper poses, along with proper movement spacing and muscle control.

Chapter One, part two:
How Easing Is Incorrectly Portrayed
Many people see easing as the main rule of animation, and as something that must be applied. Easing has shaped the way animation is portrayed today by means of force. Generally speaking, animators see easing as a guideline to make their animations acceptable. With this however, it makes their animations boring, and generic. Animation has too much boundary nowadays, and these boundaries are false and present due to easing. Easing is a good thing, and is necessary as certain times, but people often mistake it for spacing. This is why easing is thought of so wrongly, generally speaking. You will find a description in the second post of this tutorial.

Whoever wrote that is a moron. Acceleration and deceleration are not just little things that make basic animations look better. They are laws of physics. Nothing can ever move without a period of acceleration and without it the whole thing looks wrong.

I agree with zed, without easing the whole thing just looks stupid.

Overeased Stolen one

Ye. i agree with Zed...........soo.....are u saying i can't ease or........
cause im really not following whats going on....ar u saying im terrible at easing

And i like the speed(to me makes it look cartoony)

Is this animation:
.low beginner
.med beginner
.high beginner
.borderline interz
.even higher

It's okay, it needs more frames and needs to ease. Though there isn't much to comment on it is only five frames or so.

Is it this hard to explain easing is not an important rule in a animation?

practicing blurs using pivot.

Don't even ask>.>
but CnC would be aprreciated
