My Little Animation Test.

[Rainbow Skywalker 642]

I finally finished animating my OC walking. Sounds lame right? well it took a hell of a lot of work, so I would appreciate it if you checked out my video right here:

 

Thanks!

Nicely done. But, that is coming from a person whose only experience with animation is crappy stick figure animations...

Also, I liked the little head bob.

People never appreciate the amount of hours and work animating takes,

but I applaud this piece of work, it's a very smooth and natural animation.

Lookin' groovy.

 

That's actually pretty awesome, I've tried animating in various styles before and walking is probably one of the hardest things to pull off well. Great job!

Its so lovely.

It seems flawless to me.

But I have never animated before in my life.

But still, it seems extremely well done.

Good job xD

Trust me I know the pains. This is actually one of the smoothest fanmade walk cycles I've seen. Was this done in Flash? If so, can you elaborate a bit more on your process? I'm curious if you ran into some of the same issues I had when I was trying to animate.

Yes, this was done in Flash CS5. I also used Adobe Illustrator to make the pony and the pony parts. After making the individual parts and everything, I imported the Illustrator file into my Flash project and then went frame by frame for 24 frames simply skewing the legs and body into different positions.

 

What problems did you encounter?

Well for mine, I drew up the parts and everything in Flash, drew my 4 keyframes, and then interpolated them. I think my mistake was that I was animating with the Shape Tweens instead of animating the symbol (which turned out to be tons easier). My issue was keeping my outlines consistent as Shape Tweens can behave strangely.

 

Here's mine.

That looked great to me, I'd need to watch yours and compare it to the show but from what I saw there if that wasn't spot on it was damn close.
