why did everyone get hooked on pivot

i always wanted to know why people use it? I know its fun and can express you ideas if you cant draw or anything.
Does anyone know why

becuz its an excellent begginers program, many ppl have had ideas for stories that they have thought, dang that would be a gr8 idea for a movie or something which is why when ppl found pivot they discovered they could finally turn their ideas into actual videos and you act like ppl can only have 1 talent ive been a gr8 artist since as long as i remember and just started animating a year ago and im also gonna learn how to play guitar that is why

good answer

thank you :)

well meh, i just found pivot and though it was pretty fun so i do it as a hobby xD
i'v never really gotten into flash tho....

i learned about pivot cuz my computer teacher downloaded it on the computers at skool so i tried it, realy liked it, and downloaded it at home and have been using it ever since

I agree with PajamaEntertainment. Wait. Your teacher downloaded it at school? Sweet! XD

lol yeah wait i just noticed why is this in the tv section im gonna move it

BECAUSE I LIKE TO ANIMATE STICK FIGURES.

lol calm down its ok XD

i know

LOL. I was just lazy and came across some stick animator and I animated pretty cool stuff back then and then I stopped because my computer's hard drive was destroyed, but then I saw some of Oblivionfall's animations and how people do so many cool things with it so I decided to try again. And now I'm here improving every day to become like the other Pivoters :)

yeh, but i think the only thing thats actually making pivot super duper popular is all these forums and youtube
things like dd and hp that post great collabs on utube that make alot of people want to atempt that stuff.

i didnt find a forum till i had been animating for about 4-6 months...
and since i had found all these forums i've been addicted to pivot :P

so i think thats anouther reason why pivot is so popular.

just think in alot of forums involving animation, pivot is the key subject and then you got your
flash topic,
easytoon topic,
and other programs you use topic :P

but there are also some forums where flash is the main topic like fluidanims and stickpage

yeh there is... but not many...

like think about it...

theres probably 4 pivot forums to 1 flash forum...

maybe more o.O

yeah but most pivot forums stink its like a wave of crud with a couple good ones ive never seen a bad flash forum though there probly are some

i know!

like everyone on FA is either a pro or a noob.no one is in between

naw theres inbetweens i know a couple inbetweens on there but even the inbetweens i think are pretty good better than me that is XD

pivot is not a beginners program. maybe flash is. but at pivot you have to make difficult things (effects ) to make youre animation cool. at flash you can just draw it. thats very very simple. at pivot you need to make everyline at a correct lengt and all

no dude pivot is a begginers system becuz it is very simple but i never said that only begginers use it there are really good ppl that use it and flash isnt even close to being for begginers it is very complicated with layers, symbols transparency, etc. that give you the ability to make much more complex animations and you have to keep lines consistent in flash to or it looks wobbly and its pretty hard and you need effects in flash too which is hard in flash as well and the animator level intent for a program is not decided by difficulty but by the type of things you can do with it since and since you can do many more things in flash that makes it the more skill intended program also flash is made by a company while pivot is made by a random guy called peter bone

well i know that i got into pivot a few months ago and was looking for somthin to do when i stumbled apon an animation on youtube then downloaded pivot on my computer and started animating by myself thats when a found this fourm and got addicted to animations. Some pple may think that pivot i s just about fighting animations but its not only that you make new friends during joints and hold pivot wars for fun especially to see yourself put to the test when your doing really complicated effects ever since i found this fourm my skills have improved little by little and im making new friends im really glad i found this fourm

anyone who thinks pivot is only for fights has no brains

lloooll
pivot is a very very simple program but really fun and adicting...
and people can make really good animations out of it..

flash is complicated...
and you can make more complex animations and more detailed ones alot faster then pivot..
you can make wayy better effects.
but it is difficult to use.

and well there is really no " beginners " program..
pivot is simple to use
flash is comlicated..
thats the only difference i see between them...

( well apart from the obvious, flash u draw pivot u dont..)

Flash is probably a "little" harder though. XD
(Especially if you only have a mouse.)
I have a mouse, not a slate. so I think Flash is harder also because in Pivot, you just have to move the joints in the animation, but in Flash, you have to draw them and it is really hard if your hand is shaky. XD
Plus, if you look at some awesome Flash animations, they look MUCH better than Pivot animations unless maybe if SharpShooter or AttokNiiro is animating. :P
In flash, you can make awesome effects easily (Sometimes. XD), but in Pivot, you have to make them yourself. XD

yeh i know flash is better..
im just pionting out that pivot is not a " beginners " program, its simpler and eaiser.. but u can still do really good animations..

but yeh ur right, flash is hard.. but epic xD
and pivot has a stick figure limit -.-
so it reduces the detial u can use in animations...

flash u can add as much as u want xD
