8 Stikfas Animation Test

[Gazmqu333]

how do you do the jumping things :D

[EElumir]

@Gazmqu333 I cheat a lot. Sometimes I have the hand hold on to things.

Other times, notice it is on a black background? I have them hold on to black lego...

[Gazmqu333]

@EElumir oh You haven't made a stikfas video in a long time :(

MEDIC!... its for Manny

[JonnyPhoenyx]

I know this is an old vid, but I still have a question. When Maggie kicks Manny, did you do the zoom manually (zooming in slightly every frame) or simply us AE to do the effect after the sequence was edited?

[EElumir]

@JonnyPhoenyx I simply used AE. Easier. :D

@EElumir That's gross manny... hey should i get stikfas? they look awesoem, and they are only 5 bucks ( in us dollars im guessing? if u know, plz tell me.) for the basic figure.

[EElumir]

@techn0FTW Sure! They're fun! They're hard to animate, (they will break on you) but you can get convincing movement!

[techn0FTW]

@EElumir well, what do you think would be the best starter figure? i reckon the plain alphamale G2 would be okay, but it's pre-assembled. i like the idea of the chinese warrior monk though...

[EElumir]

@techn0FTW The first alpha male is fine because the less points of motion you have, the easier it is to animate. :D The G2 Alpha males allow you to move the arms more realistically, but it DOES make it harder to animate. So, it's your choice.

[techn0FTW]

@EElumir okay, but wouldnt the limited motion and articulation on the classic alpha male make it difficult to get it into the right pose for the stopmotion video? i mean i noticed that the girl you used in your videos is a classic stikfas, but don't you ever say to yourself "i wish i had more motion capability in these things"? because ball joints only in the shoulders and in the thighs seems to me like it would really cut down the capabilities. i appreciate you answering my queries lol!

[EElumir]

@techn0FTW Yes, it does limit your range of motion. So in the end, it's a trade off. You have to figure out what is good for how you animate. :)

Very cool Errol...Really nice job!!!

I would have gone with a different bodily sound, but then again, my humor never advanced much past the second grade level LOL :)

[EElumir]

*laugh* I don't even want to think how to animate the other sound... :D

[legotheking96]

Animation was superb in this one.

[orphanpixels]
