Stickman Animation. Smoothly.

[Traid333]

Recently I have released a new series called Firestorm, not many people like it, for the stickmen walking and running scenes are not smooth, they always end up chopping. If anybody could help me, maybe a tutorial or techniques for smoother animation? It would rerally help. Thanks.

Sorry for the bump, I needed to add this.

Im using Flash 8.

I dont know much actionscript.

I really need this help, I need to have smoother animation.

I watched you anims and found that the walking was the best part(And that not a compliment). There's quite a lot of things wrong with them.

Help isn't hard to find:
General tutorials
Stick tutorials
More Stick tutorials

meh, i guess i can't tell you they were really good for you age since i'm younger then you but heres a few tips on how your anims could be better:
1. 18 fps is good for stick figures
2. check out other stick movies like shock if you haven't already
3. use the brush tool to animate fbf

or you could use the pencil tool, and make it really smooth by using shape tweens, but each individual line has to have its own layer or else the shape tween screws everything up.
