So, I made my first animation....

[Karakasa-Obake]

It's really choppy and needs tons of editing but:

It's really hard to do with this stupid laptop mouse.
Anyways, I was just wondering if any of you make animations or GIFs?

[QuickSciFi]

Excellent for a first try.

[Nunzio]

ATATATATATATATATA! Great content. It's pretty easy to follow for such few frames.

[Joe Redifer]

Nice first try! Keep it up, you'll get better and as you do they will become more fun and less frustrating to create.

Here is some mouse-drawn animation I did:

"The War" is still the best, though its done in a different manner.

Good Old Cartoon Violence never fails to amuse me, but now they've ruined cartoons w/ tons of horrible cartoons. damn those idiots!

is that rotoscoped? I would do stuff like this if I had the software, but I'm not going to spend $500 for software to play around with.

That's absolutely amazing for a first try!
"You are already dead" Hokuto No Ken is awesome.

It's really hard to do with this stupid laptop mouse.

When you say laptop mouse, do you mean the tracking pad? If so, you might want to get a normal sized USB mouse or a tablet I use a standard USB mouse on my laptop and it woks great.

I used to make animations with fl.ash quite a bit, there's a very long cartoon that I've always wanted to make but every time I get half way done with it I realize that it's crap and I have to back to the drawing board. I just can't seem to find any inspiration anymore, mainly because I have no one to collaborate and discuss ideas anymore.

Thank you!Yeah, I meant tracking pad. I have a USB mouse, I just need to replace the batteries

Thanks! Yeah, more effort and time went in to The War and it was made with more primitive materials as well.

Yes, the humans are rotoscoped. I did this in Photoshop and also used After Effects and Final Cut Pro.

Thank you! the only problem I am having now is trying to think of what to make.
Your animation is awesome though. I like the style.

Props KO, for a first try, it came out pretty decent, kinda wanted to see a bodily explosion though but then again, thats what the manga/anime is for.
