If you work with Photoshop, then animate with ImageReady (unless you have the latest versions, CS3 or 4).

First make a layerd psd file with all your frames in Photoshop; then open it in IR (by clicking that funny button at the bottom of your Photoshop tools palette). I can't explain everything about IR rightaway, see the help. Basically, you have to create frames in the 'animation' palette, by making each layer visible in turn in the 'layers' palette. Then you can set the timing for each frame, they don't even have to be all similar.

Then check color options ('personalized') and 'transparency' in the Optimisation palette; then File/Save an optimised copy as... (not just Save an optimised copy or Save as). Then also Save (just Save) the psd file before closing it: this will save all your animation options within it, in case you want to make a new anim from the same file someday.

Tool and menu names are translated from French: sorry if they're not exactly as I say.

Thanks  everybody for checking out my first attemtp @ pixel animation

@  orenshtiv, yep, I have a problem with the timing too. I made the images in photoshop, then exported into flash and then exported as an animated Gif but I don't seem to be able to control the timing anymore. Is there a better way to do this maybe where you can still determine the timing yourself ? Would adobe fireworks be better to use ?

@ Stickman hey Stickman, it's a turnaround cycle excisting of 25 frames.The keys are, a front view, profile right, back view, profile left and front again. between each key there is a breakdown in the middle and inbetween the key and breakdown two more drawings on a third and 2 third to evenly space the movement.

 
@ Manupix Sure, bring out the wip ! I think I see what you mean, are you referring to the pixels around the nostrils for example ? Somehow when I tranfer my photoshop keyframes into a gif file it makes certain ereas fuzzy ( i made another piece but the colors go crazy when I turn them into a gif file and I do use RGB ), or I guess what you call stray pixels.
Any tips or suggestions are very welcome :-)

I'd like to see a wip. Sorry, but there are too many stray pixels in some funny places.

That's incredibly smooth. It looks likes 3D. How many frames is this?

"you spin my head right round right round when your going down when your going down,down..."
makes me dizzy too,but i think the animation is too fast,it could be much nicer if you'll make it a little slower..:]
