animation

[Broly238]

Alrighty, I would like to make a flash movie, everyone says make them look like real people (I made the first part, this is for the sequal). So If i made them look like real people how would I animate that? withouthands and feel connected its a lot easier. how would I go about doing this?

Pardon?

In order to animate real people you either have to do it frame by frame or make each part of them a seperate layer. I find it is much easier doing it frame by frame

[Cactusjuice]

I also do frame by frame,it's the most effective way to animate

amen to FbF!

if ur wonderin wat wer onabout, FbF is basically drawing out every frame new, very slightly changin a particular area on your movie so that when strung together you have an animation. its more time consuming than other methods, eg tweening, but learn this way n you'll get much betta resultz.

gd luck, zeddy

so say I use 20 FPS, when I do frame by frame (with just a stick figure) it always looks funny, like not smooth. and if the arms collide with the rest of it, they stick to it, then I have to redraw the arm. any tips for FbF?

frame by frame is probally the hardest to get used to.. everything else is pretty easy to do.. the only thing i can say is practice, cause practice makes perfect (ach i sound like some teacher i had.... DAMN BITCH, lol)

Well if you put one stick guy in one layer and the other in another It will not be so difficult to draw collisions but if your running 20Fps like I do then If you want it to move smoothly i suggest that you move them slightly like do not go from - to \ with an arm make two animations inbetween the movment
