Description
Let's see if this uploads. I honestly have no idea how these work. You may have to click "Download" to view the animation?Please be kind; I've never tried this before, and I don't have an animation program.
Unfortunately this is the max size that Photoshop will allow me to animate, so I had to cut out almost 1/3 of the frames I actually had in there (I now have 40, where I had nearly 60), so it's pretty rough and choppy. To add insult to injury, I then had to cut its physical pixel size in half. Needless to say, I can't finish this or clean it up. T___T Someone give me an animation program.
Based loosely on the vajra pestles movements of taijiquan (I made a few changes to allow for the water). Was going to be Katara.
Drawn on Adobe Photoshop CS1, animated in Photoshop Elements 2.

This is so amazing! I know how hard animations are to make, this is absolutely awesome. I dunno if you're still needing an animation program, but I use FlipAClip.

This was amazing to watch! Especially because I actually recognised the steps too and kinda moved along with them! :'D
It's a great animation, the water a great highlight in the scene and well done in each frame, plus the human and clothing is very well done too, if a bit choppy, but still very good!

wow, it looks amazing, and it still think it looks reasonably smooth, even if you had to cut back to 40 frames!
*is hypnotized by animation*
somehow i can't stop looking at it ^^.

If you just have all the frames on seperate layers in photoshop, you can very easily open the file with Beneton movie GIF (it's free :'D) and then it'll automatically have every layer as a frame. So I'd recommend that, and there is no file size limit either!

That's really nice especially considering the limitations you encountered, and despite what you say you had to cut out I think it flows well. (: You have talent~ Keep up the good wor~

you could try going and using
iaza.com
because you should be able to use at LEAST sixty pictures with that...
you have to save each picture seperately though, and then upload one, then upload all the others and etc...
if you're interested, comment back and i can tell you more if you need help using it

Hey, it's amazing! I'm sure it would be fantastic on real timing! Well, I'm an animator, and if you want, I could put the frames on sequence, so you can have it on real speed!! =]
I work with Toon Boom animation software called Animate Pro 2.

it's a complicated set of movements, and even with what you have it looks very nice. speeding up the frame rate a bit will help with the missing frames. good luck getting an animation program. i'd be excited to see what you could do with a better program.

Wow, it looks cool! Well, The program I use and love and would suggest to anyone is called Easy GIF Animator ... I got it for free from someone, but I believe it costs some money, but I'm sure it's not too expensive.

Well I'm not a good animator (only did one [link] ) but you could try Flash... it works well when you know how to use it (which i don't by the way...)
