Animation Buddy

Inspired from an exercise suggested by Toniko Pantoja,
Animation Buddy is a standalone software which allows you to view videos frame-by-frame to practice your animation and gesture skills.

After dozens of hours of practicing animation with live-action video, I developed a list of needs that I answered with this software. This app initially arose out of a frustration I had with many modern video players; flipping frame-by-frame was slow, and I sought to fix that. 

Animation Buddy far surpasses VLC Media Player and YouTube in frame-by-frame responsiveness, and it is tailored in design for animation practice.
