For fans of stick movies like myself, go here to look at a new type of animation:

The guy who made the video said:

"As of yesterday I've stumbled across a new animation technique. I was thinking about most animators' (myself included) incapacity to recreate natural and life-like movement. Then I had a revelation. Basically, my idea involves acting out the movements (for example, in a fight) myself and then tracing over it in Flash. Its a primitive kind of motion capture."

Very good idea. I have a video camera, a TVTuner, Flash and Videowave, so I can make this work :D

Anyone else impressed? Or am I he only one? :P

Gonna try Neo's bullet-dodging next, but as I've clocked 76 frames, It'll take aaagessss.

It's only 2kb and took about 20 minutes to make. Not bad for a first effort.

Gonna try Neo's bullet time next.

I've put Trinity's crane kick from the Matrix on the PC and I'm making a rather good Flash model of it :D
