A mixture is always gunna be best. I think what you've done here is (as you said) it's the first time you've tried animating frame by frame and you've thought about making it smooth more than anyuthing. It does look very smooth but it's also a little jolty. Also, he seems to run very weightlessly.

It's pretty cool though for a first try and very smooth :).

I am just making a bunch of shops for meself and Psycosis's game. I would show you, but having to work off of two comps right now and the internet is busted on one.

If anyone has a shop name or anything they'd like to slip in PM me :)

Don't redraw stuff that doesn't move/change much. You can see how the head looks bad with the jumpy lines but you can't notice the legs.
Try using a few stroke models every dozen frames so your proportions down't go off and stuff.
:D

Well, i do intend on finishing mine. Hopefuly i can get most of it done over the holidays. Here is what i have done so far:

I just love it when the guy gets hit out of the chair. Looks like there is power in the hit.

The faces could be improved. ..Also put _quality = 'HIGH'; Stage.showMenu = false; to make the bitmaps get smoothed. :P

What is wrong with the faces? Besides that crappy picture of the bad guy....

And the quality is already on best, jpeg quality was 100, and getting rid of the menu did nothing....

_quality = 'HIGH';

Imagine this at about 1/10th the size :D

Fleedle-backs maxpreciated.

I made the same mistake twice for the first time here. xP
It's _quality = 'BEST'; it'll smooth the bitmaps. Remove the menu so you couldn't set it back.

I liked it but there was one thing I noticed. You can fix it if you'd like too.
Pico's foot[along with his whole leg] looks like it was erased or moved a bit while tweening.

See:

It doesn't have anything to do with compression. It smooths the bitmaps when you transform them.

Yah i noticed that not to long ago. I'll get to that, thanks.

I'm out, I couldn't get something done on time, my submission was looking pretty good too. Sorry guys, next year for sure.

There's less than three weeks left and I still haven't even decided if I'm gonna do something or not. :P If I did I'm not sure if I'd be able to capture the Pico "mood"... it would probably be something considerably sillier, even WITH lots of violence.

Oh yeah I made this random animation of Pico shooting a bird. Probably won't have anything to do with my entry if I decide to make one... just an experiment.

if you havent started yet then i wouldnt but i did like that bird thing random but funny lol

Why shouldn't he start yet? 20 days is actually a lot of time, if you work on it like 6 hours a day you can get like 3 minutes of animation done.

I just gotta hope school doesn't interfere too much.

i was just saying if i was him im a slow animator and im starting to lose motivation which i really dont want 20 days before the deadline.

That's actually really good. Could use some more violent gestures and more effects on the bird. You might want to do a game with those, the expressions would rock. ;D

I gotta be done this saturday.. cause I can't work anymore the next two weeks..
so I'm having a race atm.

Footalert.

Well i uploaded the entire flash on that denvish thingy... but whether or not i should divulge the address for you people is another question.

Any good reasons why i should?

1. Because if its awesome it will give everyone inspiration.

2. Because if it sucks then people will think they could win.

Well, a more plausible situation would be seeing it, realize you have no chance to win or even make a dent in the portal, and quit...hell, show it anyway. My spirit cannot be crushed by the likes of you. > : )
