Hello,
Below is my second flash animation, even though this is my second I learn pretty fast so please watch.

P.S I know there are a few little positioning errors, I fixed most of them but there are still a few small ones.

You should hold putting your stuff up for critique until youāre confident that it is something anyone would want to watch. Not meaning that in a āmeanā way. Justā¦ think realistically.

It was to slow of an animation in parts. Your timing was off and you didnāt have a plot.
Also your vectors need work as there are inconstancies in your frames that take away from what the user should be looking at. Also your attention to detail needs to go up right now its kind of bland in overall detail.
//edit, its good for your second try though. š (kind of skimmed your post to fast).

Iāll take the passive critique and just say you should host these in a webpage using swfobject and not in full screen.

I reckon thats a bit harsh - this is his 2nd attempt at flash animation ever i think?
Im not saying its good, but its ok for a total absolute beginnerā¦gotta crawl before you can walk and stuffā¦

Yea, it isnāt that far off from my first flash animation, when I released how much work had to go into animation, I stop doing it all together.

No anticipation, empathy or weight ā¹
All _essential_ parts of animation.
Itās not about moving things around, itās about _how_ you move them around.
