REAL pros used Microsoft Powerpoint to make stick figure animation.

Oh, so, you're the guy who made Offblast. That was a pretty cool entry, but (and I hope you don't mind me saying so), I was a bit annoyed by the extra fast action and camera movements. I got a little dizzy watching some parts. :)
It also reminded me that I really hate Huntsmen Snipers.

When I was younger, i had a macbook. So I had to use stykz. It was actually pretty powerful and was good.

Oh, wait, It was stykz, not pivot.

Oh, yes. I remember stykz....

Dang, got some big names up in this.

I'm Sam, probably better known as SamSpielberg. I'm 18 years old and live in the good ol' US of A.
Been using SFM for as long as it's been around, which I believe is almost four years now. No prior 3D animation or 3D anything experience, minus a little screwing around in G-Mod for one summer. I do have some experience in stop-motion, as that was my field until SFM came along.
I've made quite a few SFM shorts in the four years I've been using it, but the one I'm most proud of atm is my highly-controversial 2014 Saxxy entry, Heavy's Game:

For me, animation is not something that I've enjoyed doing as much as the cinematic parts of making a short (i.e. cameras, lights, timing, audio, editing, etc.) Animation has it's fun parts, but I would much rather be directly involved with telling the story or joke then be directly involved with how the characters move in that story or joke. Seeing as how I usually work alone, however, I'm hoping to pick up some tips and tricks on just animating in general, and to meet some people who surpass me in animation.
Winglet, or Mark, you are one of those people that blow me away when I see your animations. Other influences would have to be McVinnie, Krunkidile, G6Kenny, Callegos, Ferhod, FatPiePro, and a few others that I can't think of right now.

Looking forward to seeing how this group will turn out.
