Animation tut for beginers

[Mitsukai]

Ah ok, well I suppose I should practice more on some basic animations before I move onto anything advanced, but I think I get most of how everything works. I find the system really simple compared to other animation programs I have given up on. Thanks for the tut *thumbs up*

But another question I must ask... How do you get a hold of those awesome animations from the KH2 beginning and ending? Do you use screen capture to place the indvidual pics on the slides, then add any special affects? I would love to know how to make animated gifs out of clips from my favourite anime.

Although, a special effect you can use is "blurring" to symbolize the speed of which the sprite is moving.

thx 4 that

Here's how mine turned out:



I tried to get the speed just right but he's still going a bit too fast. But I like it. Might put it in my signature. Great tut by the way.
