A lot of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but some of you I know do. Pivot stickfigure animator. I remember some of us used to make little wrestling animations with it. It was fun as hell.
I was just looking through my old Photobucket account and found a lot of my older animations. Now, I sucked, because my animations weren't that realistically crafted, and for the longest time I couldn't figure out how to make a character look like he was walking. So, oftentimes I resorted to just making funny, fucked up animations. This would make the fact that they were bad just add to the charm. Here are some of my favorite ones I did:
This was the very first ani I did that had a ring and a background. Would you know it, the first ani I ever did and I decided to make a botch. Pretty fitting.
This is when I started getting into the weird stuff. This is the debut of "Telekinesis Man".
The debut of "Giant Guy". He was so big, he crushed the ring and everyone in it. I believe this was the largest stickfigure that the program allowed me to make.
Me trying to make a character appear to be walking or running. It looked so dumb that I decided to make him fall out of the ring. This actually reminds me of the online game QWOP, although this was made first. I later got a little bit better at making wrestlers walk, though still not perfect.
This had to be redone several times actually because for some reason it glitched out. The color on the lightning still isn't quite right. Anyway, this is Telekinesis Man again, showing he has the power to create lightning. A lot of people compared it to Undertaker, but has Undertaker ever fried anyone with his lightning??
The second appearance of Giant Guy, although he's a great deal smaller here, and this is actually a full match featuring him against a "normal sized" wrestler. This one also had to be redone because the first time it had a freezing glitch, which I never knew the cause of. He debuts his ability to teleport using smoke bombs, with a really crappily done effect.
My most controversial ani, recreating Hayabusa's career-ending lionsault botch. I actually watched it and tried to recreate it frame by frame. I wouldn't have done this if he had died or something. That's where I draw the line. But, being crippled is still fair game
Forgot I even did this one. Giant Guy's 3rd appearance, once again showing off his smoke bomb teleportation skills, dodging the flying chainsaw and then reappearing to fall out of the sky and crush his opponent, putting him through the ring. After yanking him out from inside the ring, he pins him for the 3 count. This could've been way better if I had taken more time with it.
Forgot doing this one too. I called it Project Sumo for some reason. The adding of the gun and the brain and everything looked really crappy but that's kinda what I was going for.
So, thoughts on my old anis? Anyone have any to show? And anyone still mess with this program?
