Stick Figures

Introduction

This animation is called "Stick Figures". The animation was made as part of a final for one of the classes I was taking for my degree. I initially wanted to make a classic stick fight animation, but due to time constraints, I realized that I had to do something quicker to finish in time.

How it was made

I initially started off with the black stick figure walking into frame and doing his charge up and flying pose. This was to show that I can do effects within Toon Boom Harmony, which was the program used to make this. Afterwards, I needed to introduce another character, but I had already taken so much time to work on the effect animation due to some problems with the effext nodes I was using that I needed to make something short and simple. Obviously, the answer to this was a magical girl transformation... Yeah, in hindsight, that wasn't the most practicle solution, but I was determined. Luckily, thanks to the problems I had with the flames on the black stick figure, I was able to make quick work with the green stick figure. and to top it all off, I tossed a "Henry stickman dance" at the end.
