Lol, I don't really have a favorite team. But, I live like 5 minutes away from Råsunda stadium and used to live in Solna so I guess (you'll hate me for this) AIK is my favorite if I have to choose one
:P

I usually get bored too, I guess one solution would be to just force yourself to animate and after a while you might get some motivation back...

Oh god that was a crappy advice :P

There is no "Should". Stick to whatever you're comfortable with. Personally I like 24, and with some double framing when I get lazy :P

Mmm... Pringles. I haven't eaten pringles for a really long time. I think I'll go buy some now :D

Anyway, great job! The shading might need some refining, but otherwise, I love it.

Then you are doing something wrong, have you read the instructions? :P

Honestly, that sounds pretty unorginal. But if you do a great job with the coding and graphics I suppose that won't be much of a problem. Good luck :)

Hmm, a pretty good day actually. I enjoyed Dustballs.

My flash only got 5 reviews :(

Lol, You can't model in flash. You can create psuedo3D stuff and alike, but no proper modeling as in a 3D program. And Flash is really not the #1 choice if you want to create 3D animations. End of story.

Um, that's why I wrote "and other things too" but he was asking about animation, not games.
And I don't think it would be entirely right to say that you create 3D animations in flash, sure you can import swift3D-thingys and stuff, but you can't model or anything like that in flash.

I'm not quite sure if I understood your question, but I think setting all your sounds to "STREAM" might solve the problem.

Well, I defenitley think that flash is the best, on the other hand, I haven't tried anything else.
But yeah, flash is a really good program for creating 2D animations (And other things).

A quickie :D

I'll contribute if I have the time and motivation. After the holidays I'll probably have loads of homework so it might be hard to find any time, though.

Are you an Actionscripter or an animator?

Show us examples!

Ah, ok. Personally I prefer a mix of Tweening and FrameByFrame. And about the ideas, it's very difficult to make something everyone likes, just make something you like yourself and have fun doing it.

That's way too fast, add more inbetweens and change the color of one of the sticks. It's very confusing when they're both blue. Also, it's very short.

2/10 as of now. Add more things.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by technique? You mean like FBF and Tween or what?

That was pretty helpful, however some of the links are broken (Including mineD:)

But you probably already knew that :P

How about making your own code?

I use 8. I have only used MX2004 and 8, and the later one is my favorite, off course. :)

Thanks Tom and everyone else in the NG staff!
I would never have gotten into animation if it wasn't for newgrounds.

Thank you!

Quick and confident lines is the way to go. I had this problem before to, see my "Live your dream.." flash for example, the lines were really shaky and ugly. But now I have improved .
You just have to learn to draw the lines a little quicker. Practice makes perfect.

At least, that's my poinion about it :P

Very nicely coloured and drawn.
The emotion was very good, and it suited the music perfectly.
Though some of your fbf was a little inconsistant.
If your not already using it, use the onion skin feature in flash.
It really helps.

Thanks for the comment! :)
Yeah, the FBF isn't that good as I kinda spent more time on other things :P
And the end wasn't very good 'cause I really suck at drawing hands.

And yes, I am using the onion skin feature, thanks for the crit though :)

Lol, I love that sound-effect haha. ^^

It depends, if I'm really motivated I can sit up to like 3 hours or something. But that isn't very often cause I'm almost never motivated, haha.

I'm done! :D

Ok, so I might have gotten a little over-ambitious with this one, but whatever, it was fun to make.

Fun to have these weekly-animation-challenge-thingys back. I really like subject you picked. :)

I've started mine and I'll post it soon.

I've used it for a little more than 1 and a half years now and I still have loads of more stuff to learn.

Turn down the smoothing (>Properties>smoothing)

1 and 2 were really good IMO, liked the 2nd a little more though.
