Neat! Did you do the titles in after effects?

I liked the wizard, and recognized a lot of moho particle effects.

I especially liked the use of animation against a photographic background.

Funny -- that was the thing I liked least. I think you have to work really hard to bring off this style of animation against a photographic background. For me, it didn't work.

Add shadow on the ground and character and remove shadow behind

- it will be looks much better IMHO

This was your second animation, right?

I agree about the shadow, and try to get the angle to match the ground.

The thing that caught my eye about the background was the pan - it wasn't static, which so many of the "animate in front of photographic backgrounds" seem to be.

Chill out man. The critique was meant as a positive input, as an advice for improvement for your next creative attempts. If you don't make mistakes (or show them to pears and have them give positive critique on it), you will never learn anything. Practice makes perfect. So practice a lot.

Cheers!

I agree with Rasheed... we try to be helpful and constructive in our criticism, but it may not always come across that way.

For most of us, we have regular jobs and this is something we try to do in the "spare" time, hoping to grow it into something bigger. And yes, there are definitely not enough hours in the day.

Maybe it was a language thing, but this was supposed to be a complement! That it wasn't like lots of other animations with a photographic background, that it was better.
