It's an useful tool to create those simple and funny creatures formed by sticks which can form a full story with no complications.

Software Version: 4. So here is a little detail about Bluestacks before we start using them. Stickman is the animation software and Elemento is the figure editor. Together they make up Cutout Pro, because you can basically make cut out animation on your windows PC. BlueStacks is one of the earliest and most used emulators to run Android applications on your Windows PC.

Pivot Animator v5. Several issues have been fixed since v5. Its very useful if you forget what hes supposed to do now. In this step I'm gonna cover the most fundamental and probably most asked question of Pivot animation : Walking Try this: Observe each ilustration.

Make each illustration in 2 frames. That is, draw each picture and click next frame 3 times before making the other picture. When you're done click play You just made a walking animation! The Best Advice I can Give You when it comes to animating: If you're stuck n something, stand up and re-enact it a couple of times. If you're stuck on walking, try standing up and walking around, so you can better understand how it works.

Call it walking. Trust me it WILL be useful in the future. You can add a background to a Pivot Animation, but there's a drawback- You can only use one background throughout the entire animation. So its sometimes best to create your own backgrounds in each frame. Here's a car I made in Pivot, using an old poster in my room as a reference:. As you know, Pivot 2 The Version we are using in this instructable only exports animations in GIF format, which is not well accepted in a lot f websites.

In Instructables, GIFs are either slowed down of sped up. A lot. This basically ruins the whole animation. A lot of people have noticed that the GIF is not accepted into movie maker, so they cannot upload their animations to websites. Pivot 3 beta, offers the option of saving your animation as AVI, a format which is basically accepted by most sites and editing programs.

Personally, to show animations, I either: Play the clip on Pivot itself, and use a screen recoding software to Record the animation.

Convert the GIF using a converting program. My personal Favorite is MediaConverter. Running is usually a crucial part in most flash animations. To make running: Basically its the same process as walking, but you have to flex the knees more and make the space between legs bigger Remember to move the character a little more, since running covers more distance than walking. Trust me it WILL be useful in the future!! A neat trick in most stickmen fights is running up against a wall and flipping.

So let's do that. My all time favorite: Speed bursts. You know, that Dragon Ball Z style moment where the characters throw thousands of lightning fast punches and kicks at each other in a matter of seconds. Simply create a punch scene in one corner. In the Next frame, create another punch scene, far away from the original one.

It will look like the characters moved all the way to the other side in the blink of an eye. Method 2: Quick frames: The key to this kind of speed burst is to make movements that only last one frame, and repeat them a lot F or example, make a left punch, then a right punch.

Repeat that sequence 25 times, and you just made a speed burst. Since you will repeat various positions a lot of times try this.

Make a stick man in a left punch position. Save him and add him to the animation. Name him Left. Now make another stick man in a right punch position. Call him Right. Now alternate them between frames. Make frame one have right punch guy and the second frame have left punch guy. Speed burst often take a lot of time, but the outcome is very much worth the wait. Don' get frustrated if you don't get it the first couple of times Remember to move the characters in correct positions, you dont want your guy to be punching randomly into the air!

Pic 1 is method 2 Pic 2 is the first method Note that it took me SO long for this 3 second thing using the second method. These aren't explosions. If you're a kid, this is your favorite part of any show! Here, I'll list the methods I use to make bursts. Burst 1 I use this small burst for when energy balls hit the ground. Explosions are very hard to do if you're a novice, so instead settle for this quick method. This burst is good for about a second or two.

I use it to avoid complicated sequences of explosions. Frames are the energy ball. Adding color and changing the background with your own pivot stickfigure animator 2.
