Hi,
I just finished my first (major) project w/ Moho. You
can check it out at <removed url>
There's a 6 second clip at the bottom of the first page.
It's short to keep it small - it's mainly just to give people
the idea of the style and such.
Let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

I like the animation style. I will not order the DVD, though, because I'm not interested in the subject.

It's kind of hard to tell much from 6 seconds, but it seems like the outline around the path vibrates too much and is distracting. As far as the animation of the characters, again, 6 seconds is not much.
I realize that you only have 5 minute segments on your DVD, but you should consider putting together a real trailer of clips from your animations.

Good luck to you!
A small comment...
You should pay attention to line weights. The lines are incosistent and cause the images to look... busy.
Come up with some kind of consistent style... like... bold outlines and thinner interior lines... or something like that... and maintain it through out.
In the video sample, I found the thin lines of the church behind the character... strange and not appealing. The clouds in the main image have a thicker line weight than anything else... this pulls them to the foreground visually and gives the wrong emphasis.
Bolder outlines will stand out... pull things "in front" of items with thinner outlines.

I am with Rasheed on this one... as a recovering Mennonite this is not my favorite topic...
... but hey! Lots of potential money to be made! People seem to love this stuff now... very hot marketing potential. Cash in quick before the "tide turns"!

Thanks for the input.
I'll try to make some longer clips and maybe a collection like you said. Good idea.
Thanks for the input on the line width too. I have a lot to learn in this area. I've never done any animation before and really not much of any type of art so there's probably a lot of basic rules I'm breaking.
Thanks again!
