Pretty good, it was very smooth, to smooth for this thread, make your own

500th Post FTW xP

no, it is not hard to use that stick, you could make it look sooth on your first try (and by you i don't literaly mean YOU i mean, most people, but thats not to say you couldn't)

dont work on blood, especially not premade :/ instead work on the basic movements, walking running, kickking, punching, that sort of thing, low beginner tho.
Edit:i made a new signature stick, i will post an animation here again once i finish.

Hey there everyone, I used to pivot WAAAY WAAAY long ago. Just getting back, and I never was that good. So please be nice and before you post your animation, comment on mine. Thank You!

I realize that the camera is slightly off on the way back down a little.
And the first guy's jump is supposed to get frozen in mid-air, I don't know why I did it that way, but it was intentional. :D


@Karthago-Your animation was really stiff and had bad physics, try working on the reaction a little bit more as well as the landing.

Uhhh...so what else about mine?

I watched yours and they were all extremely choppy, stiff, and had horrible physics...There was way too much shaking in the one and the beam thingy was really ugly. You need a lot of practice, but stick with it.

The is my second completely finished animation, I didn't bother to post the first considering that it really sucks.

I decided to do bouncy balls cause I needed a bit of a break from people, since walking and running is getting to me. Anyway, it's not so great, but I hope it at least gets a chuckle from some folks.

Enjoy.....

*cough* Pivot > EZtoon *cough*
You didn't see that though :D

@Jaggedblades-Try to focus on physics and easing...when the funky ball bounces its like two frames each time....and you need about three-four times more frames in some spots, while in other spots you need like half.

What about mine? mine mine mine!!! comment!

Thanks for the comment; yeah, the funky ball (I thought of making it my personal stick figure) did go way too fast. As I was doing one of the others later I realized what I had done wrong.

Yours is way better than mine, kind of random, but the physics are great, and aside from the beginning I can't really see any stiffness.
