Smith Micro Anime Studio Debut Help (How To Animate Characters)

For those of you who have been interested/asking, here is a very brief and confusing tutorial of how I make my animations. Hopefully if you combine this with a manual, you'll be able to figure it out easily.

Please check out my Harry Potter prequel, starring James Potter and the Marauders! There is an animated preview at the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVw7KKhLxxU

You can read the first novel at www.jamespotterproject.com for free!

Wow, I don't know which is more complicated - this piece by piece animation, or the type I do where you draw each picture from scratch! It's pretty cool how you make the skeleton, and it was too funny when you were making James move around in random directions and stuff!

@iFire13 I think animating frame for frame is definately more difficult, with smith micro anime you only have to do this process once, and then for however many animations you do afterward you just keep loading up this already pre-created character. thanks for the comment!

Como haces para que el palo de la escoba se vea entre las piernas?,en el minuto/segundo 4:09 se ve el palo entre las dos piernas,yo intento esto pero con un caballo (osea que un hombre montado a caballo) pero la capa del personaje el hombre se ve alante de la capa del personaje caballo y nunca he podido hacer esta tecnica ligar dos capas y hacerlas como si estuvieran pegadas ni tampoco se hacer la profundidad de las capas.me puedes decir como hacer estas dos tecnica?

I have one question. How do you save the entire bone structure like that?

[PhotoshopFunStudio]

I didn't try yet but it looks very useful. I like paint too, I tried with that porgram an old-style animation (draw again and again the pictures). The XP's (or Vista's) paint are the best!
