Facial features and sticks

[`seCks]

In flash movies involing stick figures and a plot, you need emotions, like

rage, fear, sadness, and joy. The best way to express these feelings, is

facial expressions. I've got my eyes and mouth all drawn up great and

animating blinking, lip-syncing and such are no problem. What I find a bitch

is having the eyes / mouth move across the sticks face (head) from looking

side on to straight towards the viwer... i cant get it to look good, its

looks like the guys face goes into spazam. Any body know how to animate it so

its look real or as close as possible.

Here is an example of what im

on about.

I need to

know how to realisticly get from point 1 to 2, smoothly

[Jaded]

use a mask, have ur eyes set up in a graphic like shown in

figure 2. Make a mask that is the same size/shape as the head, when u want to

put him in figure 1, just tween the eyes to the left until only one is

showing. :P it works for me
