View Profile Well, I don't know what to say. I made a real pivot. It's been a while since I really did something.
Dod, Deathwish, PF0, and pretty much everyone I knew are gone. :'(

I'm mega rusty, so I decided to focus on stick movements rather than move the camera like I used to a lot.
I open my legs and shine the light on the pivot thread. :Bricked:
Edit:Oh yeah, the stk's are from Droidz. Does anyone give credit anymore?

View Profile Yeah, it lacked force. It's really good.

View Profile Usually I don't care for critisism, but what do you mean by force?
Thanks for the positive vibes though! ^_^ just what I want to hear

View Profile Use harder more spaced out easing. That will get you more force, but do what you want.
It was very smooth and it looked like you attempted to trail the movements, it worked out pretty well. Physics on some of the balls were a bit off, but who honestly gives a shit. Footwork could use some work; Make sure you dont let the feet slide around, it looks dodgy.
All around i love your style, i personaly dont think it needs any more force, looks like a moving ragdoll, and thats interesting. In my opinion, you need to work on your footplacement and take a little bit more time on flow. eg. making one move flow to the next.
Finally the effects are great.
Keep up the good work.

View Profile This isn't my style at all. I used to do a lot of cinematic animations with a moving camera and shit. Usually with a certain midget stk without feet, explaining the crappy footwork. This was really experimental.
I wish I could show you my old shit. Nostalgia. I remember Capn McCrackin and Limp'd, my favorite pivoters. And Justin! They ruled. They were my inspiration. They probably left because...well SPP's pivot line up sucks. I tried going to Droidz, DD, Slapstk, and a lot of other places, but I kept coming back here.

View Profile Oh so true. The pivot section is pretty much spam central, and its a shame. Although i dont think the problem is the beginners themselves, i think its more the fault of the veterans being to lazy to give proper critisism. Maybe one day the pivot section will thrive.
Ive been looking for a good midget stick. But its hard to find, i might just make one instead. And the no feet still doesnt excuse the sliding feet, haha. Your still better than me anyway so...
Dark Demon can be annoying, the people there are pretty harsh, and alot of the beginners are arrogant.

View Profile Here's another thing. The whole 'Beginners Intermediate Veteran Elite' Game sucks. If you're good, your good. And there will always be room for improvement. You'll keep getting better. The only thing I liked about it was that people called me a vet, so they actually watched my anims and wouldn't give me shitty criticism. That's why I don't like saying, 'Oh there's no force'. You're a good person to newbies Cronos. You tell them what to do to improve, rather than tell them 'Oh you're doin it wrong'. Or you give them tuts.

View Profile finally two people who get it. Cronos and Leedon. if only the rest of the forum treated newer people like that. there would be more newbies wit htalent than newbies with unusable criticism... Me, i just try to learn from vids ive watched and loved. my all time favorite animator is Terkoiz, sucks he retired from the animating process. he put out some good videos. but Hyun is almost his exact duplicate in flash animating.

View Profile I love the video. Any how I don't mind criticism once and a while i mean i can barely make a walk at this point. And yes i remember when my friend abyssal first join stick page. it was a really good place, now it just sucks.

View Profile It's probably some of the veterans like flood or liquid that make the rest of us think this place sucks... they goin, criticise, and stay criticising long after its over. teku even you say flood do this with me, granted the only reason i didnt argue back was that dudeman said I'd get banned. look what happened, flood goes on,. floods banned. maybe that will show veterans who treat newbies like me, leadraider, and a few others, possibly like yourself teku, not to be the way they are. i can see this forum getting better. and if you ned any help on the walk just post a vid and we will help you, well, those who have walking well, mine is a little choppy still.

I've Had another profile, yes. but it was more of a debate file and i can't remember the password. But Abyssal Joined earlier and i join maybe a week or two after he did. It was a pretty good place, Still harsh on criticism but that's all the same.

View Profile Maybe soon the criticism will evaporate. leaving a fresh environment for those trying to animate to thrive and learn and become better animators. I can just see people like leadraider and rocklegend joining, rock has very good easing and smootheness, his run is a little akward but its pretty good, leadraider has all the downloads and hes an epic animator at heart, like that of Terkoiz or Hyun.
