'Tis another good one!
This is pretty good. The only bad things I can say about it are exactly what you said you'd improve on in the final version.
- The backgrounds looked just a LITTLE bit dull and could do with some more detail.
- Sometimes during the movie (mostly when you were trying to simulate camera movement) it got kind of choppy and unnatural looking. Only sometimes, though.
- Maybe a bit less solid colors in the background would enhance the overall look of the whole animation. The characters were very nicely drawn and shaded, and sometimes looked strange in contrast to their surroundings.
Besides those couple of things, it was very good. There were a lot of good drawings, which really showed off your art skills. The animation was pretty impressive also. A lot of nice effects, like the movement of the shadow guys. I thought that was cool. =)
I hope you finish it soon! I'm looking forward to watching it! =D
