Frame by frame practice?

[DLuftStudios]

Ive been practicing fbf all week and I really wanna do a little more before I submit my first flash vid to NG. What are some good sequences or cycles to practice with before I contribute to the site?

Walk cycles, lifting weights, running, ect.

not bad not bad, anything else?

quite literally anything. What types of movies do you see yourself making? it all really depends on that. Something i do for practice is watch some live action footage and recreate the basic motions of it, so you can get a feel for what different actions look like when animated.

You should definitley get your walk cycles down.

Hand movements are a good one, too.

I basically understanding how fbf works and how to make it look smooth, though i struggle with walk cycles =/. I really just want to finally get my first submission in which will most likely be 50/50 with tweens and fbf.

A free running session is always fun. Make a bunch of obstacles for a character you made to overcome, really lets you stretch out a variety of movements.

i agree with narf109...make a free run thats really gives you practice in different basic movements..

Hit YouTube, too. Just type in 'walk cycles' and stuff and have a look at how the pro's do it. You don't have to do it exactly the same, but it might help.
