It's only 6 seconds though. So don't get too excited.

Great quality!
The animation was a bit choppy, though.
Well, to make your animation better you should add more frames with smaller movements. Even though it takes longer to animate, it looks so much better and smoother.
The minifig bounced a bit, so I suggest putting him on a sturdy stand made out of bricks, a plate or something to make the minifigure stand still while you are moving his arm next time
I dont have that good quality
What camera do you use? I use the C910 ![]()
Great test ![]()

I agree, animation was choppy, but the quality was really good.

Looks like you need to follow through on movements more, add some inertia, and ease in and out. Following through on movements means you need to take your movements farther. He should put his hand back more when reaching for the gun. It looked like he put his hand back a bit and a gun appeared. Inertia is moving other parts of the minfig that follow the primary movement. For example; when he reaches back, the minfig should be twisted on the baseplate to the back left; the same direction of the movement. Another example; the torso should be tilted back when he fires the gun. Easing in and out is making the movements gradually slow the gradually fast. This is done by moving the arm in a small increment then moving it larger increments each frame until you get to the middle of the movement, when you make the increments gradually smaller.

Thanks for the help/advice. I use a Canon Powershot S3IS.

Thanks for the criticism.

Thanks. I'll try to put that to use in my next animation.
