Pivot Stickfigure Animator is a great application that allows you to create stick figure animations that range from the simple to very impressive - with a little time and patience. Working on the normal basics of stick figure animation, you create individual frames of action and then view them in sequence, producing the animation, like a flick book. It's ever so simple to get started: think of a story, design the background, add your figure and watch your work of art in action! Of course, you can modify each Pivot Stickfigure Animator frame in any way you want, using some of the pre-set characters, creating your own figures, adding color and changing the backgrounds and running speed. When you are happy with your completed animation you can save it as a GIF and use it within a range of other programs to add interest to your work, or you can just watch your animations by themselves for fun!
