There is a style of popping called animation where a person moves in slow jerky movements to make it look as though they are being animated frame by frame like picture to picture. for any of you poppers who know this style of dance please make or request a video guide on how to animation dance or basics of animation. all the styles of popping are on wikipedia.org just so you guys know and try to help me. thanks peace and keep poppin

thanks so so much guys!! now i realize how the aimation dance style works. the slow jerky movements are robots and dimestops. im learning like everything on the robot right now ive made so much progress. on youtube this guy elastic illusion goes over every single aspect of the robot. like how to control your body piece by piece. like he teaches you side bends knee twists stances fork lifts and everything its crazy. thanks so much guys! thanks peace and keep breakin and poppin- Bboy Neon Rain

the slow jerky movements are actually speed changes, which require the robot precision and dimestopping. Kaimo meant that u should HAVE the basics of the robot and dimestopping down pat before attempting animation.

This will be testing your "watch and copy" learning technique

Go youtube and search "Clay Animation" and then try to copy the Jerky movements of those clips.

The slow jerky movements can be achieved with a number of different methods. A few examples:

Quick successive dimestops.

Small vibrations while moving.

holy jeseus those were really good clips, i learned the robot in a day!

I think i might be thinking of the wrong style here. did anyone watch the video of supreme soul in the red jackets at torwards the end of the show? cause it was kind of slow motion with jerky movements but they were waving and stuff in it to. can anyone watch it and tell me if im wrong about this style??? peace and keep breakin.

Hi Guys, im Roo from the uk, and am new to this site,Im really interested in the animation style, one of the best guys I have seen around at the mo is prob popping john, he has a you tube clip called "popping john animation clip" I think his style is awsome.

what he does is strobing(faster dimestopping). basics of animation is definately Robot, Dimestopping, Strobing, Ticking,Slowmotion.
