Anyone have any tips on how to make fight scenes? I'm not used to animating more than one guy at a time.

people say animate the person doing a move, and then the reaction etc.

but personally I'm only good at 1 person as-well.

Its looking good though!

thanks :)

more help?

Usually, when I animate fights, I start with the sticks it should contain, so you know the location of them, and animate the attacing stick first, until you get one frame of attack, then animate the second stick.
Something like this:
Animation order: 1 2 3 4 5 A=Attack X=End
Stick 1 I-------------A I---------------I I---------------X
Stick 2 .................I---------------------A I------------X
I hope this is understandable.

Or do what they did in JCTLM, animating a serie of moves with one stick, and add the other sticks afterwards.

You had some awesome resize there, mate.(The black one)
Great smoothness and easing.

I never knew you were this good! Next time, make the gradient again, but then 1 side black, and the other side white with 0% alpha. It'll look much much better.
The rest looks okay, the run was kinda too fast.

Hey, you have got MSN?

Smooth. Although I don't like the one line wooden back [When he landed]. Some line animators make 2 lines for the back, or just make it less straight with the arrow tool.

How I make a fight is. Animate a move or two, or more (Depends on what the move is) Then add the stick. If the other stick must attack to, I do less moves of course (depends again. If the opponent must block, Its probably easier to make the stick right after that hit)

Personally, I think there is a lot better if you set both sides black and one with 0% alpha.
The colors will mix up if you have white and black...

...what?
