You're right, the back arm does shake. I don't think he should stop when he hits the floor. Keep him moving forwards. Make it flow.

Here's my another Free Style Animation ... better?

Keep the arms a bit closer together and be a bit more careful with the foot placement. A zero-thickness line could help with that since it would give you a dot to overlap the foot with but wouldn't be visible on the animation. Also, before doing flips like that a lot of people would do some sort of hop, like this:



Also, at the end try stepping forwards instead of coming straight up.

I think you should make a new stick too. If you're going to be aiming for curves like that in pivot you're going to want more lines and smaller lines.

Still, good work.

...... I ... don't understand a "lines and smaller lines :confused::confused:"

When you make your sticks you have used three leg segments so that you can get more of a bendy knee, yes? I'm saying that if you want that sort of knee it would be better to use five leg segments and have those around the knee much shorter. It will get a more gradual curve and that will look smoother.

@Ghostly: Like the camera movements, but it's not even close to your best. It's a bit stiff, doesn't flow at all, and he should bend down way more when he hits the ground. And when he leaps offscreen, you should try trailing more to make it smoother.

@Chanokthorn: Wow, you're improving amazingly fast. Can't really CC, Zed already said everything and I kinda suck at flips anyway.

Yeah I agree, it's just I was focusing on my camara movements and didn't pay enough attention to the flow of the animation.

Yep, I like it because of the camara movements.

Right, I've added more.
May turn it into a collab if anyones interested.

I am interested.

@ Ghostly : If I could help... I'd say that you should do the stickfigure's post first . Then you move it to be a shaky camera.

I have no idea what you mean, but if you mean what I think you mean, it was to test the shaky cam. Therefore the shaky cam came first. But if it means the other thing it might mean then, it was like my second attempt at shaky cam, and have been practising nothing but movements for the last year.

Well that what i think he means.

I don't think you DO think you know what he THINKS he means. >.>
Aah man now I've got to post something on topic or it's spam...eerrrm....oh, I know...

You sure do a lot of v-cam movements, ghostly.
