Stick figure animation
Nice, isn’t it? :D

How about this?
Another StickFigure animation[Source]

Cool again.

These are all called Stick figure animations, and are pretty easy to create. In a stick figure, everything is represented by straight lines, as Wikipedia defines it.

You might have probably seen this on your television. Know what? You could create such simple animations very easily with the help of Pivot StickFigure Animator.

This software allows you to create a previewable chain of stick figure frames, and you could add up your very own stick figures and spice up your animations.

Pivot StickFigure Animator software can still be used professionally, or you can use it just when you’re bored for time pass.

    i’s vara’ naice

  9. I have the program and have gotten really good at it! But I only have 2 questions. I was watching those stick figures on crack videos on you-tube created by PivotMaster DX (My inspiration) and I was just wondering if someone could tell me how he put sounds in his animations, and how he put in sittle props like Fanta cans, cars, hamburgers, and a bunch of other stuff in them!

  10. Oh, And one more thing…. How do I post my animations?

  11. pretty cool

  14. For sounds and better movies, such as Animator cs Animation, is done with Flash. There are currently Flash MX 2004, Flash 8, and Flash CS3 that are still being used. Flash CS3 is recently new. Flash cost’s $300-$600 dollars because it is used for more than stick animation, although I have it from my work’s mass lisence for it.

    This is a very nice program xP

  39. yo!!! i saw this cool video called black vs. white 3 on stickpage.com

  40. will the people that always whine about pivot for mac just please stop and think. There is a think called darwine. First go to finder and click ABOUT THIS MAC. look to see if you have Intel or PowerPc. Download Darwine here Remember : if you have ppc click ppc, if you have intel click x86. Download the .dmg and install it to your apps folder. almost done : download pivot, and dubble click the .exe, when is says which app to use, click darwine. Install the app now inside darwine. When you are done, you should have a shortcut on your desktop that says : pivot stick figure animator >> dubble click it.
    -your welcome

  70. do i HAVE to buy crossover?

  71. do i HAVE to buy crossover

  72. I have a Macintosh computer, and I need the version that works for it. Somebody please help!

  73. jimmy, have you read what it says right before you posted your comment ?? :/

  74. yes, you have to buy crossover ($60), or torrent. but if you do buy it, its worth it becuse then you get support (bottles) for new windows software. Also you can play Age of Empires, Counter-Stike, and a load more. any .exe, you can open it.

  75. had pivot on the old windows heres a tip:Like they did with xaio xaio or however you spell his name go frame by frame moving the guys arms legs or poisition little by little you can be surprised what you can do!

  76. (sigh) i have a ppc and mac os x panther. is there ANYTHING that i can do to run pivot? (besides darwin)

  77. yeah, i have i have a Version 10.3.9 and a 400 MHz PowerPC G4 processor. Is there ANYTHING besides darwine or crossover that the apples can get? ANYTHING?

  78. oh, and the file Anthony sent me said that i ” NEED AN APLICATION TO OPEN THE FILE”

  79. ohh
    yea, sorry

    change the .ext (or whatever) to a .zip , the reason was cuz gmail wouldent let me send it.

  80. cmon I WANT ONE FOR MAC . ITS NO FAIR

  81. paralels is a windows emulator for mac, I think, mabe.

  82. that was pre-made by the creator of pivot….

  83. anthoney, i changed the .ext to zip. but it still says it

  84. Is pivot for the mac? Like mac os x?

  85. Wut is the diffrence between Darwine and Crossover? Also does Crossover run for mac os x ppc?

  86. I dont know.. All I want is a good animation software for Mac Os X.

  87. im back, the mac pivot brain. Yea, there is a diff
    Crossover is really windows running in the background and “displaying” the “output”
    Dariwne is just a Wrapper that actually RUNS pivot in mac.

    10.5 is indeed ausome

    GO BUY IT. I DID AND I PATCHED IT FOR X86 AND IT IS SOO AWSOME. REALLY, GO BUY IT, DONT TORRENT. ITS WORTH IT.

    step 5) install CrossOver (the .dmg file on your desktop)

    step 6) download pivot for windows

    step 7) install pivot inside of crossover

    steo 8) run the pivot shortcut on your desktop

    step 9) stop complaining for pivot for mac :-)

  132. OK Guys… seriously im not wanting to be annoying with this shit but just hear me out…

    So.. i did what you said.. “install wine for mac” and i just bought leopard 2 days ago.. but i dont think that matters.. anyways… installed wine, downloaded pivot..
    i opened pivot in wine..

    but wine helper popped up and said:

    ” Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to
    use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
    or equal to 2.0.5.
    http://www.freetype.org

    so i downloaded freetype from sourceforge.net and i dont know how to instll it at all!!

    Please Help…

    Give Some Credit though guys… im nt one of those other bitches who complain for pivot as .dmg

    anyways, thanks in advance

  133. anonymous(person with pivot on mac) on January 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 am

    try the pivot ON mac using crossover.

    jack. if you have 10.5 you will need to grab your 10.4 disk and install x11

    or, with the new screensharing feature. i would be more than happy to help you.

    jack, here is a pat on the back

    those of you who think its anthony, please dont. im not him.

  134. i already have x11 installed…. on leopard… but my AIM s/n is saaintjimmy… thnx!

  135. LOOOOOOOSSSEEEEEEERRRRRRRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  136. OMFG “how do you get stickfigures?”…..0.o what?you should probably do a different program.that has to be the just the worst question ever.

    and so im not just complaining, you can download and publish sticks on http://www.droidz.org.

    for sprites like the burger you need pivot 3 beta.

  137. how do u get the hamburgers and other kool things and not the ones from droidz

  138. see i have pivot 2.2 how can i get something better and how do u make the person talk and add the hamburgers

  139. how to add sound

  140. u have to have pivot Pro

  141. ok, who stole my name?

    hehe pivot on mac 10.4 ;)

  142. ey if you really want sound why dont you just say the words with ur friend as it plays. or maybe u can make a speech bubble idk i don’t have it.

  143. BATTLE ROYAL

  144. nvm…

  145. how does darwine work?

  146. the way tou add sounds music effects etc. is you get hyper cam 2. just google it. its a program where you select a region of the screen and it’ll record whatever happens there.so you record it and put it in a windows movie maker or slide show program. then you have option to add sounds effects and music. a great site to get sound fx is findsounds.com.

  147. microsoft fan on March 11th, 2008 at 2:24 am

    MAC’s SUCK. UNLESS YOU ARE INTO PURELY MAKING MOVIES, OTHER WISE THEY ARE COMPLETELY USELESS

  148. Oh shut up, you worthless little twelve year old.

  149. GET IT FOR MAC PLEASE DUDE

    and btw shut up microsoft fan

  150. so um this looks awesome and all… but do they mac it for macintosh computers?

    hahahaha im kidding, don’t kill me

  151. sorry make*

  152. I’m with Zero; if you can’t spell, chances are you’re an idiot.

  153. Listen all ye Mac wishers.

    I am currently working on a similar program for the Mac. Check out an early demo video here:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=3imdn7tbmDE

    Subscribe to the channel to keep updated.

  154. it is a shame theres not a pivot for mac yet but if you cant wait there is a very similar thing that you can do online it is called stickfigure animator 2 that is a online game that you can make animations out of. the web address is (http://www.stickpage.com/stickanimatorgame.shtml).

  155. I wish that this could be made to music though.

  156. hello

  157. Comon pivot maker dude.
    Make a mac pivot already.
    Even if it’s just a beta.

  158. I think making windows-only files is a complete waste of time. if only part of the world (even if it’s a big one) can use it, then just… NO. that’s a JOKE. I’ll never make any program inaccessible to even 1% of the world. (I hope a person that makes windows-only programs (like pivot) is listening. Is it really that hard just to do that?!)

  159. i completely agree, ever since i switched to mac i was… pivotless,
