Original idea by Mark Shephard
Visit traffic light wars for some animated tomfoolery.

I was a bit worried about this one, as I know nothing about golf whatsoever.
But it turned out ok - it's all in the timing of the frames. Timing can cover up some shoddy poses.

a lot of it is just cutting and pasting bits of the arms and legs and stuff from the original red and green. and then rotating to make the new poses.......time consuming but it is worth it if the pose looks good.

Damn.

It aint easy, takes forever to do (as you well know what with your little pixel thingies) - it's fiddly and an amazing amount of things go wrong. Like overwriting a needed pose and stuff, simple mistakes that make me go....

thing is, I received this suggestion that there should be a dance-off
I'm gonna save this idea up for a while cos for all the other anims inbetween I can make new dance routines........then, when the time is right, the dance off will be immense.

I can kind of imagine it already. Only it'll be better than that!

I get a feeling you might be being sarcastic......
Cheers about the anims/pic.

Yep - they can take so god damn long. But hey, you kind of feel so much better when they're done. A big wave of relief and all that.
