You guys are all great! Its hard to believe all of these flashes are just tests, well I better give into peer pressure and share my first test on movement.

youtube to mp3 converter, most useful online tool an animator could want!

and thanks!

say I wanted to make a full length submission, how many of those 3 second clips do you think I would need, in order to avoid it being "too short"? like 10? 20?

oh shit haha, I accidentally posted the same ling twice. the second one was supposed to be

hm... some of it doesnt seem very water-y, and some of it doesnt seem that heavy, but I liked the result

ive been trying a similar thing

hmmmm, this is one of those things that I probably wouldn't use motion tweens for. if anything, rough it out with brush then have it folow with tween. what you have here looks like it's really viscous and thick, instead of light and watery. this is an interesting exercise, though. try to have the shape really get pointy towards the top of the swing. have the surface of the water break a little bit.

I'm in class now, so I don't have my wacom, but I kind of have a rough drawing of what I mean.

well, I remade the animation from scratch, gave the bowl a better motionpath and animated the water frame by frame (50 frames). I think the result is quite good although it took a hell of a lot longer. I still find it difficult to find the water's breaking point at the top. I still haven't got a natural movement there. On the positive side the water looks a lot more lively and fluid.
thanks a lot for your help.

you can have the flash file as well to see how i did it

oh sory I cant link the flash file somehow. Aparently it says it is corrupt or misnamed? how do i fix that?

yeah I can see it, this looks really good. very nicely done. the only weird thing is the first ten frames or so, when the bowl comes back a bit. but that aside this is a big improvement.

Shroom bot traning This is shroom bot traning for battle by shooting a talking targe I was the one that invented shroom bot not sacros. just to let you know.

oh and its not finished let sorry for doubleposting.

looks pretty good. you'll have to play around with the pacing of it. Feels kind of rushed right now. Usually most animatic's are so you'll prolly fix that

Heeeeeres another one! Heres sonic running its for a project or somethingGo sonic!

I saw this and couldnt get the idea out of my head. so I re imagined it using tweens, it was good practice . credit to rendibsivd.

tweens ftw!

i got one too, its for madness. the fist hit is bad but i wanted to test the walking/running more
Animaiton here

Hay gaiz. I'm trying to practice easing my fbf animations for more realistic movement. I'm fine with basic figures but once I try anything slightly more detailed, it starts to look choppy. Suggestions?

Thats really good. I like the way you loop the animation. Alsothe frame by frame is nice and smooth

Im working on an animated series at the moment. here is a clip from one

Do you think I will get away with turning the ninja to a silhouette to save time?

If you want to turn to silhouettes, you need to have the camera angle change, rather than having one object turn black in the middle of a shot.

TWO SOLUTIONS:

-Have the camera zoom out to reveal a foreground made up of more buildings, and have everything but the sky and foreground turn black.

-Suck it up and spend three or four hours actually animating the spin

I recommend solution #1

this was the best i could do to improve it

Hey heres an animation of my character the bean dodging fire bolts from the moon character thats in my first movie omg im 13 what do you think guys?

This movie is when I was 12 but dad wanted me to use THAT title omg im 13 I wish to call it the lima bean's adventure.

well from an animation standpoint its pretty good, you do a decent job keeping up with the pace of the movement, but I would suggest adding a few inbetweens in a couple places, just because it getsa alittle hard to follow.. I think a heavier lightweight would also help to better establish the form of the bean. altogether, it looks pretty good, but rough. hope this helps

as for you, the one weakness of tweens is angular changes in character position, aka spinning. while tweens can fug it alittle, you really gonna have to do some redraw. I'd say redraw the torso tuned and the arms foreshortened, then a few different angles of the legs, then you're just gonna have to play around with the keyframes. it may seem daunting, but give it a shot. you dont have to redraw every frame, but your gonna need at least three redraws of each part to acomplish a full circle. if you do it right, it should look pretty good. also experiment with quick camera pans, to give the illusion the camera is moving around the character. there's an example in my shoombot anim above. where the camera wooshes from a side view to a rear view, it's trick, but if done properly, it might have the effect you're going for. hope this helps, good luck

Heres my fail animation"boo" at it all you want.
