Hello, one and all at WrestlingFigs. My name is Sitrush, I have been posting on the forum for quite a while now, but haven't got around to posting animations, I haven't published a stop motion film before, so this is technically my first time. Please let me know what you think. I will take the criticism on board and I want to ensure I can be one of the top Animators out there and win a title on the WFIGS Animanias  . Also I would like to give an open question about what should I name my Animation Federation thanks. |

Work on the stiffness and the fidgetyness. I'd suggest you to look back over your pictures to see if it looks good. It's not bad at all though! |

First animation? Not bad! You already seem to have a grasp on what animating moves is all about. You used JAKKS RA's, which limits the movements you can make with the figures (though some have mastered using them, Captain McKay amongst them). Best advice I can give is to study the move on film a few times before you animate it and to make sure you move all the joints where they need to be as the frames go on. Nice work! |

^ Thanks Colter  Sitrush, I like a lot about your animation. The camera never shakes, and the setup you have is good for animating. The angle is nice and wide so you can see everything. I also didn't see any string, which is also a plus. As Douglas said, it's tough to use RA figures because the movement isn't great (especially in the legs) so kudos to you for making it work. If there's one thing I'd advise to anyone, it's to take as many pictures as you can. It's always WAY easier to delete the pics you don't need, than to go back and have to re-shoot the entire sequence over again. Also, joint movement is huge - knees, elbows, any part of the body that would move during a wrestling move, try to move in your animation. Otherwise, this is a good animation and a promising first attempt! |

Wow thank you all for the kind words and constructive criticism. I will continue to make more wwe stop motion animation. Thank you Captain McKay (Really enjoy your work JWF StopMotion) and Douglas. It is definitely hard to animate with RA Style figures, I have now made the move over to using more elite figures, because originally I was mainly only Jakks and wasn't used to changing to Mattel I am going to try again soon and work to make an animation that incorporates more fluid movements of the figures and try to take more pictures next time. |
