The most important thing: do not call your stick figure as a "The Chosen One"

Or “The Dark Lord”
Or second coming

Don’t buy an animation tool, buy an Alan Becker
That’s too expensive
@Hydramoon you are right
just buy a TSC instead
@@naturalgoose1913 tru
I tried to get a TCO, but it is actually malware.
Alan Becker has earned the title "one of the best animation teachers ever" [by me] :D
ALAn is so good
Yes he is and he will be
Hes the new king

And me!
This guy is so talented, I hope he makes videos about stickfigures and turn into a cinematic universe.
Its not a guy its alan becker
@@JoshIndita r/woooosh
I mean, he just did 👀
@@arshankhan3703ye he did
is there a free editing software that is similar to what he used?
i wonder how many stick figures has came to life after doing this video
yeah I saw a stick figure on my desktop today probably one of a child work bcz his head was square
Good question and 68 ;)
Me.
More than my iq
Zero
possible side effects include: the stick figure coming to life, destroying your computer, and maybe a new friend (after the first two things.)
I wish for a friend on my desktop so all i can say is that I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
@@TaurusTheCrazyBull hey actually I had the idea of creating ANIMATION VS ANIMATOR (fan-made and it's simple : kzhead.info/sun/m9F8Ya2IiJSPrYU/bejne.html ) If u wish , watch it friends....
I would let my stick person draw a world on my animation desk, that would be fun, sigh
@foxeee Yes its big brain time
@Radmax 08 Are we brothers
It’s amazing how far he’s come
look at the Stickman in this video.. purples father
@@f40ggy52oh yeah i just realized
@@f40ggy52 kinda purple's father is more of a darker blue tho

I love how all the sticks have " Little feet ", it's a silly detail but it's cute.

he isn't a tool!

@@ScalyFox I just talking to you.
@Mohammed Basha r/woooosh
That is the best looking stick figure I have ever seen. No joke, it DOES NOT look like a five year old drew it. It is the best drawing I have ever seen, and paired with the great animation, it is the most smooth and agile stick figure I have ever seen.
Sgfgdgdfg
Ya
You just read my mind!
Yes Alan takes stick figures to another level
it really doesn't look like a 5 year old drew it doesn't it
This tutorial is simple, easy, and quick. I understand the whole thing in one video!
Instructions unclear, I named my stick figure "The Destroyer of Multiverses" and now the power of my neighbourhood went out.
Haha, I was about to name my duck so too, all because of Kurzgesagt 🤣
I can listen to this mans voice forever
you should of named it 'Cute Stickman'.

There's already chapters.
@@Pretzellll lol
theres chapters
This helps beginner stickman fighting animators
btw pivot animator has an in-between function now! this means that pose-to-pose is a lot easier, but you can still use straight ahead if you want to if you set it to -1 then the last frame won't appear, making loops seamless if you set it to a number from 1 to 80, that will be the amount of tweens for that frame and you can also convert the tweens for a frame to separate frames

Yeah. Theres a stickfigure hiding in my PC and I dont know where it is. It's been gone for 3 days and I'm scared....
1:01 Alan has learned from his mistakes and named it hero
Your animations are too epic. You could not draw such epic stuff with this strategy.
finally i start to understand how the frame key works.
How?
@@Fernanda-od6mk I mean in term of key frame=time slowmo or fast pace movement. So yeah controlling these can create effects.
@@beneaththeoceanwaves since i have no life, ill make you understand how animation works, basically videos/animations are all made up of pictures, in animation terms, frames. If you put together alot of frames with an object/drawing, its considered an animation. Hoped that answer your question about frames
too easy you just need to be alan becker
True

No it's not Purple's dad.
Bro it was an exaggeration
OMG IT PURPLE DAD!!!!! GET HIM

Er. Yeah but er..
Nah, he’s taller and his colour is more stronger.
@@8834 you got a point. Sometimes Wikipedia is a false or might have been right.
1:58 "Then repeat the process with the rest of your main poses. H-"

Why am I laughing wth 😂
Alan Becker probably did not hear that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"So let's talk about stick figure animation in Adobe Flash" - First 3 seconds of the video Why are so many people asking what software he's using...?
They rebranded Adobe flash to Adobe animate
I just asked that!

I learned a lot from you and tried making my own animation...😁
In what platform?????????

Alan Becker makes a random Stickfigure: a Fandom: Canon.
This is actually insane, This way it is way easier. I've actually never wanted to make animations but I started making games and i needed this. Thanks and have a nice life :D
Never thought I would be doing an animation, let alone a stick figure animation, until I saw that my program of study included 2D animation. This really helped, thanks man. Love your animations!
With the space out the poses trick i can finally made normal animations thanks alan becker for your tricks thanks to all the tricks you showed in the video now I can animate something that I tried 3 times but all failed and since I didn't give up I found a comfort zone where the only limit is my imagination

Maybe do... ANIMATION AND ANIMATOR VS ADOBE FLASH
nah i think AVRL for animation vs real life where they jump out the screen after exploding the whole computer
RoGamingBros - SN Animator yeah! The adobe flash is making they're opponents! Its like the evil version of them! 🔥
GOOD IDEA
RoGamingBros - SN Animator &vvv
The battle of a program that's been lying in the File Explorer for years vs a team of a virus stick-figure and animator that doesn't leave his Adobe Flash in the file explorer!
Dude, Alan, you've showed me the master technique! As an Adobe Animate animator myself i appreciate this 1000%/100%
THANKS ALAN BECKER FOR THIS VIDEO. MY DREAM IS BE AN ANIMATOR LIKE YOU AND IT WAS LESSON FOR ME
This video was so helpful to me as i just started doing animation and the results were already very good after watching this video.
This tutorial is very helpful and easy to understand so I can create stickman animations using Adobe Flash CS6 This is the best tutorial channel ever
pose to pose is genuienly the best advice ive ever gotten for animation
Thank you Allen Becker because the animations have been more smooth
I love this thank you so much Alan Becker, I am a big fan
This is so helpful! I've been playing with a similar process but couldn't really define it in my head.
This one was very helpful. I’m trying to get into animating myself. So these are extremely helpful for me thank you
You are the best animator of the story of the universe!!!!
It's a great video to learn how to animate, things like this always seem complicated to me. So, tysm Alan Becker ım big fan of u 😁.
How many of you are watching this knowing you'll never do it (EDIT) Dats a lot of likes
me
I should be able to do it (In a million years)
Me
I plan to do it for the summer, i got a new drawing tablet wich is a huge upgrade! until the school ends i want to learn how to use it!
+FreshGaming123456 cool
He made it look so easy
ikr
Nicholas Vaz lol

First, practice. No one gets it in one day. Second, find a comfy spot. Don't try to animate fights or kicks without first knowing the basics. Finally, make sure you know how to DRAW the poses. It helps if you know how your animation will go, but ugly poses leads to ugly animations. Hope this helps.
imagine if alan makes a stickfigure fighting tournament animation, it would be insane
Your tutorial are great, and can you make how to add buildings or animating guns.
Alan Becker is the best teacher, animator,motivator and the best story artist
And also a great beat boxer!
@@thetankwargunner oh yeah in the end of his videos
how your anims is soo smooth
skill
xXNIGHTgamerXDXx you can use a smooth thing that makes it smoother. To do it you left click on the frame part you want to be smoother. And hit a smooth button. After that it should come up an Arrow. And its smoother.
I think Nightgamer means fluent. The animations looks fluent. The lines are smooth.
skills
Check your frame rate, Alan uses 24 fps I'm pretty sure
The efforr behind every video...thank you
I used to animate straight ahead, now I do pose to pose. I have to say, I prefer the second one for bigger things like bodies, and the 1st for loose objects that will have drag.
this is not for lazy people, remember it
Well i am actually very lazy but when it comes to drawing something i will do anything
Not for me
Thank you so much for making these tutorial videos! It helps so much!
This guy is the goat of animation
You are wonderful teacher and in simple method
That was kinda simple i never knew how to make a stick figure move after you draw it but know that i know how to do that now i,m excited to make stick animations! Thanks Alan Becker!
In the latest version of flash, there is now a checkbox that toggles the brush size scaling with the zoom or not. EDIT: I'm seeing lag in the brush if I do not turn this on, meaning in order to draw smoothly, I need the brush to be a constant width relative to things instead of relative to my zoom. I guess this is fine for consistency.
+Hazel Cricket didn't know that! thanks!
yeah they also have custom brush shapes... not sure how new that is
+CHAN CHUEN WAI陳荃蔚 I believe it was implemented before the renaming
+CHAN CHUEN WAI陳荃蔚 It's also in Flash CC.
I believe this feature is already checked for the Eraser.
That is amazing you should also make a cartoon like Animation vs Anime
your tutorial makes it seem so easy! i remember watching this when it was uploaded and trying to animate a stickfigure myself. i gave up shortly tho LOL
See, it's one of those hidden gems tutorials in KZhead, and just the fact it pops up on an unrelated video just makes me rage. Can't it just pop up when I need it ?
Alan Becker worked so hard for these animations we'll need to support him as much as we can
Hmm right...😃
I did do animation and see if I'm right say flip acip

Can you show a front view walking scene with a perpective moving background? I liked your “Tree Moving Background” tutorial. Thanks for ALL of your tutorials.
T hi s is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on KZhead before
"Once you've drawn your figure, select the head and turn it into a symbol" Ah shit, here we go again.
Be careful not to select the whole thing. Possible side effects include: - a broken computer - a slave for removing popups - a new friend - a sentient digital world - better animation Strange side effects, right?
Alan, I love you and you are saving my life for tomorrow's presentation but I just wish that you would slow down a little when youre explaining. I had to pause each time to remember what every step you say hahahah
how did the presentation go
This is cool so this is how you made your friends and your videos I’m also a old fan of yours and I love your videos and your art and your stickmans.
Wow the best tutorials I've seen in my life!
WHY ARE YOU SO TALENTED IT'S SO CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
