Description
I thought this animation would work well as a GIF and I thought I could make it big. I was sooo wrong, still trying to figure out whats wrong, but I can't get the effiecency I want. The background is a solid color and does not change, by all rights the file size should be tiny....(Sound of head scratching) anyway it's late, so here is a snip-it, hope to get more later...
I used a BVH motion file, which is why the motion looks so smooth!
The trick was keeping the camera moving around, to keep it at a good angle.
Have a great Tuesday!!
;P

can't help you out in the scratching your head department ... but i think this is so cool...he's got some killer moves!!! awesome work!!!! :o)
How nice to see an animation. Lovely fluid movement in the 'bone' character. Not so sure about some of the framing of the animation but the fact you made such an effort is a winner in my book.
Yessuh, them Ice Capades jes' ain't been pullin' 'em in like the old days, eh. And ol' Sonya Henie warn't built in a day either, hehe. [Great one!]
well, he dances better than I do!
LOL! So where are the next Winter Olympics, and will he be on the US team? This guy cracks me up!!! :-D
Great stuff so far!
Now this is amazing Eric!!! So wonderfully done, so fluid!! This one is definitely my fav of ur animations!! Fantastic work!
hehe This is cute =) Great work on this!! WOW.. I cant do animations. amazing work!!!
Love it, the ultimate anorexic figure skater!
Hmmm... shadows? They do tend to eat up space.. Looks like you might have used the "stock" lighting, which may be too much.. other than that, possibly a gif architecture issue? Looks like you had some fun with the skeleton though.. :)
Fine fluid movements ! A Ray Harryhausen style piece --good work !!! ooh that Atkin's diet is doing wonders too !!
The animation look awesome!
wow!!! looks pretty impressive... olympic medal for bone skating!! :]
He has some smooth moves...:-)..awesome animation...well done !
WOW!!! That's all I can say...just WOW!!! I am a huge animation person and the movement here is just so fluid and natural!!! :O)
Bones on ice... who'da thunk it. Hope you figured out your compression problem. Just looking at it now, I'd guess that the background isn't websafe grey and that you saved at 256 colors instead of something lower, but you probably already figured that out by now. :)
Oh ha, ha....I didn't know you were moving the "camera" around. I thought you made those by...well...I don't know. It's not like animating a drawing then?
Very fluid dance movement! Superb! BRAVO! :)
Pretty good!
