i'm still learning animation, so i thought that i'd do a simple video and concentrate on timing and presentation; please leave comments or critque, as i'd love to hear any feedback :D thank you for watching : )

The beginning is hard to understand and slow and then it gets really constructed fast, I suggest you construct it slowly instead of just jumping into zoomed out version of half completed painting.

@cg2009, AsaMovshovitz: thank you for the kind comments, glad you like it.

@ artmak: thank you for the feedback, i looked at the video again and saw what you were saying. That's a problem of mine, i find it very difficult to see what someone viewing the video for the first time would see.
I updated the video:

sorry i could not make more major changes and slow down the construction even more, as it would be difficult to change the storyline to suit it. what do you think?

i think the size of the video makes a difference for this animation, anyone know a good place to upload it? its height is 480p and width is 853p

my video just got uploaded on vimeo, but it's the same size. i realized the problem is not with the site i upload to, just my video's original size :blush: i can't upload in HD because 480x853 is the largest windows movie maker will let me save the file as.

guess it's staying on youtube for now. will look into other ways to export a HD version of the file = )

any critique is welcome = ) i hope to improve the animation before re-uploading :)
