Well, not anywhere near as good as most of you guys (and gals) but here it is anyway:

My weaknesses are background, and body and bodyparts. My stronger sides lean in facial structure and expression (cartoon style) and lip syncing. Whole project took about 30 to 40 hours I'm guessing. Got this program for my birthday in July.

It amazes me something something so Professional can be sooo affordable!!! Unlike other software out there. Oh, I don't know LIKE FLASH!! You know. I am very against piracy but with companies that over price there software like Adobe I don't feel at all bad when I see these fly-by-night websites selling their software at rockbottom prices illigally. YOU GO FROTIER!!! MORE POWER TO YA!!! Thanks for affordable software!!!

I like it very much! Although I did not understand most of the speaking (my fault) the animation was nice!
Only the sound quality is a little crappy (maybe it's a desired effect due he's in a battle field)
Keep it on!

A very, very old saying comes to mind. "Pratice make perfect." You're on your way, my friend. Keep up the good work.

As for the sound, it was distorted in spots. If it was perfect on your computer, something might have happened to it after you uploaded it.

That's really good, Philly! Although the sound was a little garbled, the voice was right for the character and the lip sync just about perfect. You have talent! If you can see your own "weaknesses" then there's nothing to stop you from improving with each new effort. Keep plugging.

Thanks for the comments! Yeah, the sound was a little too "hot". I think it's the way I transfered it. It came from a video camera. I transfered it to a MP3 stick recorder and then dumped it to the computer.

Genete, The character is in charge of a Firework show. One of them miss fires and lands right behind him. Scene taken from a video series me and a friend of mine shot a couple of years ago (still working on).

Anyway, can't imagine the possibilities with this awesome software!!

That's why did not understand nothing about the story due to my poor spoken english understanding.
Sorry.
