Frame by frame .fla ?

[HONKHONKHONKHONK]

Can someone please give me a website where I can download .fla's with frame by frame animations ? I keep trying to do them by myself, but they look just wrong, and I would like to see how a simple frame by frame animation is made ( even a sketchy one ). With all the frames and layers, and stuff.

So can anybody help me ?

[HONKHONKHONKHONK]

I don't want tutorials. I want .fla files with frame by frame animations.

And don't come back until you've drawn at least one sketchbook

Thanks for not helping me at all.

its gonna be hard to get anyone to send you an .fla of their work

How about practicing stills first? Practice drawing stuff in different perspectives and postures. Drawspace will help you there.

what are you expecting to find? some magic trick? it's just keyframe after keyframe of original drawings

[NoperDoperTrooper]

It's a lot more complicated than just a series of drawings. You gotta know how to posture things first before you can get the movement to look good. I suggest right-clicking on .swf files and then clicking the back and forward options on the menu repeatedly. Then you can see each frame in succession. That's how I do it, anyway.

The tuts are really great for whatever you're doing, but it's hard as hell to find .fla's that people are willing to give you. If you are trying to learn to do FBF, the tutorials should really suffice just as well as looking at someone else's work. Some of the better tuts even break it down frame by frame so you can see it as if it were the actual .fla... if that isn't enough for you, then I'm suspicious you're not just trying to steal someone else's work? o.o

Richard Williams talks about TRACING over other cartoons as practice, which I personally believe is a very good way to learn animation techniques. Is it original? No, but you're not releasing it- it's an in depth analysis of what the animators did in order to try to glean some sort of knowledge from them. I personally go frame by frame through anything I can get my hands on to learn how the professionals do it and what tricks they did (I can personally attest to "A Gruesome Twosome to being quite entertaining to track through frame by frame: http://youtube.com/watch?v=31eZaNcfV1o )

@ the original question: You can open up .swf's with flash and use the [,] and [.] keys to shuttle foward and back frames, but you're not going to be able to trace over them. You CAN import .flvs (cough cough hint hint) to trace over.
