Yeah these are not good so I don't expect to get a "OMG THERE SO COOL LOLZ"
And I dont know how to upload gifs right so I apoligize if there to Slow or Fast. Im a very very lazy guy, so its going to be a while till I get a good animation up there.

Credit goes out to whoever made that Legend Of Zelda pack on Droidz, I don't know who it is but if its anyone here then, you know who you are

Not bad for a person just starting. You need help on pretty much everything. Check out the tuorial sction, that helped me a lot when I was starting out. Just keep trying. Low beginner.
Courtesy?

Lol. ABOVE. FUNNY! Lol. But go check out Baha (Darren's) tutorial. Helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Um, what? Obviously med beginner, your smoothness and easing are off, as is speed. In the walking one, the guy's legs were twitchy, and in the defaults suck one, he ell too slow.

Check out Darren/Baha's tut.

Yeah thanks lads, I only put those two up because if you saw my others you would of eaten me alive, so I think I might just do short tests for now

Time for my... ULTRA SUPER LONG COMMENTARY CC! READ ALL OF IT PLEASE VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU!

right lets get started. You have quite alot to do.

Easing-
This is the most basic thing in pivot. It's to make something more realistic.
*this is how ya do it!
*- so say you wanna walk. you have to do the easing process which goes as so: so letterwise you'd go like this. slow-bit fast- fast-bit fast-slow.

or in symbol wise: |-|---|--|-|.
Now you have that covered.
Baha's tut= essential.

Smoothness-

this is also Very basic. And once again this is to make the animation smoother and realistic. How you make animations smooth. Well to have smoothness in EVERY single movement is probably the work of a veteneran or Elite. So you could do a test of just a very smooth punch.
How to smooth. Instead of doing 3frames of build up for punching do 8 frames (WITH EASING!) and about 2 on the hit. If you try this and do it correctly it will look amazing and would probably be worth of High beginner.

Physics-
I can't explain physics very well. But Physics is like... basically the stuff up there ^^^ and reaction, and gravity. Now gravity should be quite easy. if he is on low gravity ease him up in the air. and if it is high gravity ease him down to the ground(But make sure you do some destruction to the ground...)
Phoenix's Physics tutorial is ideal

effects-

This is simple really.

tremor. If, for example, your guy punches an enemy, or attacks him in any way. And you want to express his power. You would either use tremor or flash. For tremor effect, ease the ground up and down. Simple as that...

flash. VERY EASY! just get a stick and put it at 10000 and frame, there you go! flash!

negatives. once again get a figure, put it to the size of 10000 and make the two stickmen the colour of white, you might need to press the 'Front' button.

blood- probably the hardest effect, but loads of tuts on it. I can't explain it so pop over to Toastmaster's tut.

particles. Once again hard to explain. Pop over to Baha's tut.

beams. An effect to make a super human animation or a dragon ball Z etc. I would suggest getting a stick pack from Droidz (although not reliable.) or you could make it yourself. there are a few tuts on this but this effect is simple in some ways.
What to do- get your start off beam. place it in his hands. get your second beam, fire it, 3rd fourth, until you reach your last beam, then do the step backwards.

well good for firsters.

Wow cheers for all that..

Oohh I love it. Very good for a beginner. Legend of Zelda was especially good, pretty smooth compared to others :)

Cheers for that, but there not that good.

You have some decent ideas. And im sure if you practised with some tests then redid some of them i bet they could come out even better than they already are. And do take into account Acemons post on easing and smoothness as it will help you alot ^^

Yeah sure, In the middle of making an alright one now

Your O.K for a bigginer but you should try picturing the movements of people so you can use that for your physics in Pivots that you do.

The Zelda one was pretty cool, do you still have the pack? I NEED IT!!!!
