Seriously tho, why you have to move to Hyun's Dojo? Do you wanna leave SP?


No, I don't want to leave Stickpage. I just want to remove my RHG character then create a duelist in Hyun's Dojo. I still track activities in here and reply if I have time.

@Creepinbro

Poor understanding of Flash. Usually, newbies who've done their homework would have already watched all of terkoiz's tutorials, including the one about the basics of the program and how to input sounds. This is apparent with Ortimh, because he got hold of Jeff's preloader, managed to use it properly, and knew how to properly put the sound in. You, clearly, do not. So I would suggest getting to it.

Poor stickfigure construction. Using the line tool and just bending lines is lazy, sloppy, and has no appeal.

Very few actual animation. Most of it was tweens and cinematics that were sub par. However, credit where it's due, I did appreciate the attempt to do something impressive with the 3d building thing.

Just keep practicing, and focus in learning actual animation first instead of trying to gloss it over with speech bubbles and perspectives that gives you an excuse to not have to animate much when making a "full-length".

@Ortimh

Sufficient familiarity with Flash. Like I told Creepinbro, you did well in finishing up the animation. I always appreciate a preloader, and your intro wasn't half bad.

Stickfigures too small. Perhaps this is a personal thing for me, but I do not like how small your stickfigures are. To me it just seems like it's a way to make your animation look better, because you'd have to draw them smaller.

Animation was too short. The first part showed clear superiority over Creepinbro when it comes to movements (although it does need some more work), but that was like maybe 4 seconds or something, then it went to tweens and unconvincing effects. You didn't even animate the death of you're character; one frame he's there, then he's just in pieces.

I don't like the music choice. Is the music bad? No. Has it already been used in an animation? Yes. I feel like the fact that it's already been used, and in an animation by freaking stone no less, means that nobody else should use it. It's an unwritten rule, and I feel is a matter of respect to fellow animators too. Of course this is just me, so to give a better reason as to why you shouldn't use a music someone else has used; there's an unavoidable tendency to compare animations that have the same music. When I heard the first part, I instantly remembered the insanely choreographed, masterfully animated, Get Stronger official music video that was animated by papa stone, which is one of the best 2D stickfight animations out there. So it seemed like you were aiming to be compared to that, but sad to say, you're not there yet. You could say that you were just inspired by stone, because I mean your battlefield looks like what stone did for his Unbalanced tribute animation, Disbalanced, but still.

I feel like your animation could have gone a lot better. You seem to have already had practice, but you got lazy and just used a bunch of shortcuts.

You're completely right! I accept your critic.

About the small stickfigures, they're mainly inspired by Hyun's style at animating his first battle with Terkoiz. It's easier, cuter, heavier than normal stickfigures. But yeah I'm trying to use normal stickfigures.

About the music choice I didn't have any music choice in my mind so I decided to search through my folders and found Get Stronger music. I asked if I can use this music as my battle animation music, no one answered except Creepin_Bro that said I can use it.

I accept your critasism, the pre loader I just didn't know where to get
And the Terkoiz tutorials I thought I watched them all, but I'll do it again
(No actually I think I watched the Hyun tutorials, so I'll go watch Terkoiz' tutorials)
The Fps were supposed to be cool sorry if it took away from the anim
And the bending lines, you got me there, it was just way easier (and I was still 3 days late)
And bout the sound thing, I added sounds (very poorly I might add) and at the end I just strait up forgot due to it being 3 days late, and me animating till 3 am

All in all, it was crap, and (no joke) that was the first thing I thought when I was done, but I'll learn from it and do better in my fight with Prom

(And about telling Ortim he could use 'get stronger' I was just answering that he was allowed to use it)
( and I guess I can't read, cause I never new papa Stone made the anim for get stronger)

Ay.

put "stopAllSounds();"

on the last frame of the animation.

then, when it starts playing again, it'll be fresh. or, you can put this code on the last frame:
"stop();"

then put this on a button:

on(release){
_root.play();
}


so ye.

Thanks a ton, im ganna need to figure out how to put scripts in (its probably simple, I haven't even looked yet)

Kinda sucks that Frame of Mind is taken, and by FREAKIN RESH of all people (meaning I'm definitely not double using it)
Frame of mind is not only my favorite song but it would be perfect for the anim i was ganna make

so does any one know of other songs that have a slow emotional ending and a good fast paced middle?

Creepin Bro: Nice efforts dude it looks adequate! Just move every limb next time because it looks too ( curvy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) robotic.

Ortimh: You're too good dude really, good thing this was planned to be APRIL FOOLS!!!

My Vote? Creepin Bro, why? Force clearly died on both animations, what the fuck is your logic to whom who vote on Ortimh? No, really I voted on Creeps, lol

And that's.... what I've been waiting for. Tell me if you're ready to set your animation on fire with prom. I'm waiting the whole time to see it

Great to hear it but I'm not too good. Well I just got lazy and really rushed it like hell. And it's not a C&C btw, it's your opinion ;) but thanks anyway. Also I do care about winning this thing with no reason at all.

My vote goes to Creepin_Bro by the way. He's too good against me.

And you... don't get too desperate or lowing yourself like that. Your skill is very good to be honest, even tho you rushed on that one. You've dedicated an excellent animation by your talent. Really tho, you're really making it smooth. I like it.
