8 Stikfas Animation Test

This one is really short. Only 20 seconds. I blame my allergies.

Here are the links that may help you but won't keep you from asking me questions despite Tutorial #7 which told you eveything. :D

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...

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

[Gazmqu333]

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

LMFAO

@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. :)

[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!
