Make me something with 2 guys standing next to each other, then one pokes the other. The guy he poked trips him and falls on his head. Show me what you have after that. Idc what size.

You can use either one. Give me a guy jumping off a building, a line would be ok, and then stopping right before he hits the ground and landing softly on his feet. Then a guy falls on top of him.

Tips:
1. Put ground in to make them even.
2.Make their legs move when they walk.(That's pretty hard, I just learned it. Don't worry if you get it wrong.
3. When someone hits something give it one frame and then have the effects.
4. Have them actually touch when they hit each other.
That's all I can think of right now.

When your on Droidz go to Sticks at the top. Then pick which one you want, click it and then it will pop up. Then click file and Save as and save it in your Pivot Stick figures.

That's pretty good Big, I like it even though it is a little sloppy. Also if you ever want to find figures anywhere, go to droidz.org they have alot of things.

Haha, I love it. Your good. How long have you been pivoting?

Hey Dx this is my first one tell me what you think.
http://i15.tinypic.com/4t8sbrn.gif

It's good.
Tips:
1. You got the ground, that's good. You did this time, but make sure you always keep them on there.
2. In the second punch make sure he hits him and make one frame before the reaction.
3. Yeah, Droidz is good. I wouldn't recommend using any of the things they have yet. But, if you want go ahead. It might be challengeing.
4. Instead of making their body parts move from down to up, make sure when you move them they are still bumping their last frame shadow.

#4 if you don't understand, email me dxdomination@yahoo.com and I'll explain more.
Other than that, keep going.

Way better than your last one!
I can only point out 1 tip from that.
When he shoots, have the guy that's ducking make slow movements before the bullet gets him. To make it look less scratchy.

When he's falling down, you did what I said and it looks great! Great job. I can't believe you got better just from those tips. That's a good thing.

All employees, make a big banner (in pivot or fireworks) that has at least 15 seconds of fighting and then at the end I want one hitting another in the knee and collapsing. Then, fading in and out, Dxs pivot shop powered by us and him.

If you don't know how to do the fading in and out, email me. This will be a good challenge, I hope.

I just downloaded pivot.It's very close to Fireworks,so I already know how to do most of the stuff there.

You can still have me down as a special helper,because I will still use Fireworks,just not as much as pivot.
