well, the entire process goes as such...
make a background, about twice as big as the finished gif
open up pivit stickfigure animator, make the canvas twice as big as finished gif.. make your animation (long and grueling process) - save as gif
open gif in photoshop elements
Add blood and effects manually frame by frame..
Set proper gif settings (colors, etc..)
resize image to half, and let it take care of the bicubic resampling, (nice and crisp figures)
save optimized as finished gif
No plot? No problem! Come write with the worst of us!
