Yes tests. Why? Because all of my flash get 2.20 to 2.50. I never got more besides that clock day flash I made for a joke. Im going to be very busy now that school and football are coming up but I will make 5 to 10 second flashes and submit them to spam the web and put links on my page every saturday or sunday. This post will most likely be permanent for the next two months.
So please tune into my channel and give criticizm on my tests (What graphics, reactions, realism, ect) and how they can be improved every saturday and sunday. I will probaly start making tests very soon mabye within a week. If I somehow find I will not do this I will create another news post. I will most likely do tests until I perfect shooting animation so I will need your help on decideing that. After I am alot better I will start my next flash in hope of a blue score ,
Walk test 1 uploaded today cuz I had time. Clickand give some criticism on my page. I also wanted to know do you have to re draw everything on the stick to make it more detailed or is there a way you could draw the more detailed body on the first frame and delete the plan?
When he comes to bring his leg back it jerks fowrard on 1 frame. The same with his hand when its coming out. Then if the lines were a bit neater it would look more smooth, for sticks I would use the line tool. Fix these things and you would have a pretty good walk cycle execpt that its a bit fast. Good luck hope this helps. Just info
Walk test 2
Edit 7/28/09 My main goal is to create a really good walk cycle before september 2nd which is when I go out for football so that when footballs over and I have more along time I can start on a series that I have had in my head for the past week or so. I look to have all series earn blue scores of 4.00+ so thats why I am always making tests and asking for criticism.

Very ambitious goal, I have been animating for four years and I still make crap walk cycles. There are a few books that might help you out ande you can get them from your local library. I wrote about animation and gave some book recomendations on this post right here <a href="http://farfenwaffle.newgrounds.com/news/post/279297">http://farfenwaffle.newgrounds.com/ne ws/post/279297</a>
try using onion skin, it shows the frames before the frame you are on.
Good luck.
