First Pivot Animations

It's great to see you trying out pivot doug35, I believe a few months back you were asking where to download sticks, rings, accessories etc? I'm glad you found the resources available to create a few on your own. Anyways nice beginner ani's you have there, just like figure stopmotion, it's very important to analyze joint movement and be sure in each frame the movements correspond in essence to the last one. In each frame, keep in mind that every joint should be moved ever so slightly from the previous to make sure the animation runs fluently and so the stick has a realistic look to it.

The first ani was ok but it could use alot of work. The stick performing the chokeslam is very stiff, I see you moved the top half of the stick during the move but had some difficulty with the bottom half which is normal, just like everything else you learned up to this point, practice consistently, you should be able to gain a bigger understanding of how the stick's should shift positions and how spacing and stiffness should be handled. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave any that you may have in the Chat Thread and I'll take the time to respond to them accordingly.
