thanks

thanks and i am better with art than my animations show. i just cant animate fbf like this with amazingly drawn pictures every frame

gracias! I do want to develop my own sword fighting style, so I will look at a lot more different sources to help me. And yeah I am for sure going to do some motion smearing :)

whoops here is part 2 : http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/eee9 64913869aaab121671fc79c8de06

So my first animation was this: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/50 2329

I am workin on part 2: ://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/eee96491 3869aaab121671fc79c8de06

I was wondering if I have improved because It has been about a year since samurai cat part 1. So basically, it would be awesome for some feedback :)

I would love to do a part in this if there are still spots open :)

here is a part from a movie I am working on

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so if it ins't, it would be awesome if you could direct me there.

Any way, I have made a game and it is like astroids, but the astroids are sips that shoot back at you. I know that my game is really hard, but I want to know what you guys think. I can make it so that your ship has a better shield, more health, better weapons, and more lives. So, what do you guys think?

Also, read the controls because there are a lot of ways to attack.

much obliged

Imma post my art here! My pieces that I am doing right now are monochromatic in purple because purple is awesome!

Can't be used for fights my ass :P

Let me rephrase what I said: It is very hard to do a good fight sequence with tweens, but it is possible.

I just lack the planning skillz :)

What do you guys think?

I do frame by frame because I do fighting animations, and you just cant do a good fighting animation with tweens. Maybe you ca, but I don't feel like planning it out, naming the symbols, putting them in the right layers and in the right layers within layers.

I wish I were ace with symbols, but for me, its actually easier just to do fbf.

BUT I always try to put tweens in my animations. I

I think that tweens are perfect for things like comedy animations.

Thank you all! I think that he'll be in an animation for halloween. I've got some projects going on right now, but you'll see him soon

This is an original character that I plan on making some animations with.

What do you guys think?

I have obviously studied sword fighting and releasing blasts of energy for years and I own a red power glove...;D

Dude that is awesome!

much obliged my good man

The frame by frame. The bane of animator's existence. ABANDON ALL HOPE YE ENTER HERE.

This thread is to show off your fbf shit. Just dump it here and we will discuss it. It doesn't have to be pretty or colored or finished(WIP's welcome) Whatever the hell you want, just fbf

nothing against tweens :)

I guess i'll start off

Hey don't listen to these guys. It will be very hard for a stick figure movie to make it to theater, but if it is done extremely well like with amazing animation backgrounds, voice actors, maybe some 3d animation in parts, and detailed faces, THEN it could possibly make it.

Just look at the castle series

Ok to import audio, you go to file, import to library, select the audio file you want, press ok. Now it should be in yo library. Drag it to the frames that you want.

You say that when you press play, it will start but then won't stop? That is because the default of the sound is event. You must change it to Stream. These options should be in the tool bar towards the bottom of the screen. Event is good in the sense that it doesn't beef up you swf file size as much a streamed audio because while part of it is playing, the rest is loading simultaneously. Streaming the audio increases the file size of your movie because the audio has to be completely done loading before the movie can start, so if you have a preloader, it will take longer to load you movie if you have streamed audio.

I personally recommend streaming audio, especially for short movies because it is easier to sync up sound effects and to sync voices because you can move along the frames of the animation to hear bits and pieces of the sound to sync it perfectly.

I agree. Its a little long, but it is mainly the opening for my demo reel, so I was trying to show off my animation a little.

But I mean its only like six seconds, so t isn't too bad...
