After recently watching the amazing fancypants,s tutorial on ease in, ease out, and trying it. its just not working, and it just doesnt look right. What do I do? Its not working, perhaps Im doing the technique wrong. Im not sure.
Im trying to improve my animation to a smooth standard before attempting to create any of my film ideas. I would be grateful if you guys could help. Thanks.
You need to actually say what you're doing if you want someone to tell you if you're doing it wrong. Or link to a test or something.
for example, to move a figs arm, start out by moving it extremly little. Then move it a little bit. Then a little. Then medium then pretty fast. Keep the motions fast until you get his arm parellel to the ground. Then go backwards (not the arm, backwards in the directions.)
Not EVERYTHING in animation should be eased. Sometime abrupt halts can be very effective.
0ldscratch is right though - you should tell us what it is you're animating before we can provide appropriate advice.
What frame rate do you use? Fancypants operates at 15 fps, so you should try to use at least 12.
guys im going to get a test up now actually, Im operating at 15 FPS in istopmotion 2 pro for mac. Thanks for the help. I will try and get the test up ASAP thanks. Im surprised 0ldscratch one of my favuorite and best animators replied to this post. Thanks.
And THAT is why this website kicks ASS! Go community!
Indeed the community on here is great... I never expected I was going to get this much help so quickly, thanks for your support 
I can't do it with my Legos.
