How to Make free Animations - Pivot Stickfigure Animator

Step 11 ENERGY BLASTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These aren't explosions. It's Dragon Ball Z styled Energy Bursts. If you're a kid, this is your favorite part of any show!

Here, I'll list the methods I use to make bursts.

Burst 1

I use this small burst for when energy balls hit the ground. Explosions are very hard to do if you're a novice, so instead settle for this quick method. This method

This list shows the order of frames I used to make the GIF below. This burst is good for about a second or two. I use it to avoid complicated sequences of explosions.

The Ball I used is about 1 /12 inches and size 164 if you measure it with a ruler (I should have worked on this....)

• Frames 1-4 are the energy ball. This is used to show where it comes from. (Remember to add the color in this first part, or else the whole thing is basically ruined!)
• In frames 5-6, I moved the ball closer to the center. Remember to think up the path the ball will follow before you start the animation.
• In frame 7, the ball is below the center. Its close to the wall and the ground. (The canvas)
• In frame 8, I changed the ball's size to 500.
• In frame 9, I made it size 800, so it would cover the whole screen
• In frame 10, I used the same size as in frame 7. I moved it a bit closer to the ground also.
• In frames 11-21, I once again changed the size to 800 and changed its color to a clearer tone.
• In frames 22-23, I once again made the color clearer
• In frames 24-30, I made it even more clear.
• Finally, In frame 21, I used a tone that almost resembles white.

Then you can continue the rest of the animation. Now try it!
