FML! I had a good long(ish) post, which apparently I failed to submit, on my frustrations on animating certain styles but can't do, because I can't capture, I can't figure out how to capture the essence of the things that makes words for FUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Some of these you might know, some you might recognize from something (like Spooky Scary Skeletons for 'Skeleton Dance'). This. this is the kind of animation style I would love to create (in SFM). But alas, I just can't figure out what of these (and others from the 20's-50's) I love so much, the words to use when trying to describe how to come up with one of these animations. For example, like let's say I was to make a Tom and Jerry style animation, but with Engineer and Spy (but not necessary the rules/laws of TF2, just the characters themselves) I-I-I just don't know what to do. I'm no writer, it's not like I can write up a scenario for two silent characters, and have slapstick in it. It's also not like I can hire a writer (or two) seeing as I have no bloody money (not that kind of bloody), and the only way to get money is through a job, and if you actually took the time to read about my job/life rants/vents before,
Just how would I capture the retro style of animation for SFM?

Just look at this! Now, personal nitpicky issues aside, this dude has captured the essence of the old retro cartoons (mainly Tom and Jerry). I wanna do this, I just don't know how, because I fail to translate the essence of the old retro cartoons into words, and that really frustrates me.
