I was always fascinated in animation ever since I was little and I always wanted to create something that would help introduce people to making animations. I made this so anyone at any age can know or get the idea and possibly get inspired.

SAMPLE:

Instructions:

1. Adjust your character to your preferred position. Please move the character slowly.
2. Save the frame
3. Adjust your character very slightly little by little and save the frame every time
4. You can view your animation forward and backward by pressing and holding one of the arrow buttons.
