[jeehoondevil]

@BluzoCrafter just search graphics tablet on google

[epicfail10000]

link too download Flash pleace!:)

[TheKillander]

Great tutorial, but I still have a question... I see how you guys make the real fast paste animations, like when they're fighting and stuff, but how do you guys do the smooth close up shots? It looks like you use the line tool and maybe some motion tweening, but I'm not really sure. I would love an answer, if possible Again, great tutorial, and thanks! :D

[RubiixCat]

@TheKillander probably put FPS on 25 and do 2 frames every time.

[datkid56]

@TheKillander Yes they Use the Line tool When close Up.

[BigExplosionGoBoom]

i was telling my mom how i want to do small animations like stick fights in flash and she said to ask you guys if there is a summer camp or a book or something to learn alittle

[TheBIackPh0enix]

I can't get this prgrm now! FUCK U Internet!!!!!!!

[MrClockWK]

You know how long I thought you was using Pivot!?

[xaxol0]

WHERE DA HELP DID YOU GET PRESSURE TOOL

[aqworldshero210s]

@xaxol0 u need to get a tablet first

[PathsOfTheFallen]

what's the best smoothing? or should i just set it to 0?

[randomwierdstuffTV]

fuuuuccckkk

u wasted 6 mins of my life just to show how to draw a mother fucking stick figure???

fuck u asshole

[AsianBlazenTV]

@randomwierdstuffTV if u were to make an anim, it would be crappy as hell unless u payed attention to/or actually draw a simple basic stick figure

[TheKidFro67]

@randomwierdstuffTV It said stick construction and for a lotta people this kinda stuff really helps. You know that pink blob in your skull? You should use it more.

[IAMSKINJA]

@xx0MangiPogo0xx he said it at the beginning of the video its Macromedia flash and for mac adobe flash

[xx0MangiPogo0xx]

nice vid but WHATS THE PROGRAMME'S NAME AND WHERE CAN I GET IT????

[shedix2]

I can't make an account. :( But anyways, I cant even download Flash Paint 8 with my fucking old useless piece of shit computer. Well its windows 2000.

[dablic999]

[synchronize12]

[TheAnimatingdiddy]

@synchronize12 Yeah, only noobs wouldent know that. :P

[TheKaratyChicken]

@FLuidanims he I'm a big noob but I can't even find the brushes and such (after effects is easier fur me :P )

[MushroomMash8]

would you recommend a graphics tablet for people who're good at drawing and/or for people who sorta suck at drawing? cuz i've been thinking about getting one and i'm afraid that i might not feel comfortable using one and waste my money for nothing...

[Etari19]

Nice tutorial, I learned many things to do because of Terkoiz's, Hyun's, and especially your tutorials :D

[Blaze1293]

My hand is so unsteady I can't draw it right

[tigerboy251]

What's the cheapest program that can be used for animation stick figures, and how much?

[atreyu603]

@tigerboy251 pivot,but its not very good,the best thing to do is to lay on some cash for flash 8 or flash cs3

[Ajxdiddy]

damn it why is most stick flash animators tablet users can i get one mouse user? :(

[freeway1011]

Nice tutorial! Helps a lot :D

[realSOnoYa]

O|-< dun :D

[blardow6]

how do you make the brush smooth?

[xXcubikXx]

Is there a shortcut which helps you to switch between layers? When like there are two stick figures you need to switch a lot between layers so any such shortcut??

Also (lol) how do you use the hand tool to zoom in and out? :O Never saw that before..

And thanks a lot for the tutorial, it got pretty frustrating

[gleemn]

umm.. did you use cam studio if you did what version because I have cam-studio 2.0 exe

[willow08FN]

i love you

[MaxJCollins]

I think this is a little silly

I don't think there is a 'proper' way of drawing a stick figure, anything can look good. I'm kind of puzzled by how similar all the stick figure animating styles have been recently.

[Dannyowen555]

@MaxJCollins It's not silly. Some sticks make the animation look really unprofessional and sometimes stupid.

[ShedScale]

I got one question:

I animate midgets like pluto lately (but with open heads), and I use brush smoothing 50. The question: Would it still be needed to draw each limb seperately when you can only hardle see it?

[jeehoondevil]

this was stones account all along?

[Ninjapenguin707]

I'm a pivot guy, but i found that the thickness of your stickfigures doesn't really matter in most animations unless it's WAY to thick so you can't see any movement other than a blob or so thin thhat they look delicate as flowers. Your figures are realistic though. Nice tutorial BTW. It made me be AFK for 6 mins on my games, and that's hard to do ;D

[blackskull096]

Wow, very much thanks for this. By using 25 as smoothing it seems I improved alot. Thanks!

[RitterFreidrich]

how much is macromedia flash 8? it looks expensive...

[antmoose90]

any tips for someone that personaly prefers line?

[razoremblem]

i need a tablet D:...

[TheJunkieBox]

Oversized head? Somebody's dissing Pluto.

[donaldoanka]

I've recently decided to try animating.

[nm7570]

[camilacachito2929]

[PieMan424242]

[iMegaBit]

@FluidanimsTV Do you support fullbody ? I am starting to get in that because I want to be a serious animator but it really doesn't matter. Just curious...

[SuperScrath]

[Mrsugarpuffy]
