Description
A bit late on this one, but...A thousand thanks to the 35 people watching me at the time of this milestone!
A little bit of experimentation yielded the animation loop above. It's fun to play around in After Effects and see how far I can push things.
Gotta get better and drawing dynamically. This was my first crack at animating this sort of thing.
Drawn from scratch and animated in Photoshop CS4 Extended. Camera shake, background, and light effects added in After Effects CS4.

Aw, man, I'm really sorry for such a late reply. Your comment got lost and I just found it.
Thanks for finding this piece so interesting. I did my best to put some dynamism in it when I made it.

What program do you use to animate? your line slook quite traditional tho. What do you use for effects and such? any good tuts?(< not on animating itself but on effects etc

I use Photoshop CS4 Extended. All the frames are drawn digitally, so they still retain a made-by-hand feel.
After Effects is where most of the FX are done. If you have it then I'd suggest checking out some of the tutorials on this site:

You're welcome! Glad I could be helpful.
After Effects is a beast to learn, but once it's tamed, you'll have new power.

i read a comment and had an idea to make this awesomer! like one person said give more camera shaking, but along with that make the pause between gun shots shorter it will look AWESOME!!!

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll make those changes in a future animation. This piece has taught me a lot in terms of that sort of timing.
Gotta keep moving forward.

Wow that is really impressive, your so great at these.
Is it possible to animate like this in photoshop CS3? Thats what I have.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
You can pull it off in Photoshop CS3 Extended. There's almost no difference between animating there and CS4.
The flashes and shake were done in After Effects for sake of ease but can be done in Photoshop, too.

you know what woulda' been cool dude ..more camera rumbles
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes more rumble would have been nice, but I had only animated a small amount of recoil in her arms, the two wouldn't have matched, sadly.
There will be bigger rumble in the future, though.
