Pretty simple.

2. Once you have dowloaded that and have looked at tutorials, now animate with these tools.
So. First go into any Garrys Mod game, also remember to have the game Team Fortress 2 if you want to animate with the characters!

Now click Q and find characters...

Then use the stand pose (look up if dont know, but it does say how to use when get the tool out..)
You can left click on the pose to flattern his arms and make it less like squidward...
Make a kind of pose with your physics gun with him....
Just remember that you can use the radgoll mover.
Now use the Henrys animation tool, make a original frame and snapshot, remember to do snapshot first!
Then do what you want after that.
Then you need a recording software like Camtasia, Fraps, anything else. Those are free. And click play and record it.
Then you need a editing software and then put the clips in how you like it.
IMPORTANT!! -----------
Remember to check the original tutorial on Henrys animation tool and how to use it before actually reading the rest of this!
