"Needed more stuff"

Disappointed to read below you didn't scan the paper yourself. I mean, that was one of the highlights of the flash!
I felt the start was good, with some fbf morphing and some cool synching to the music.
I like the blobs and explosions later on and the noise and brush strokes you add during the radiohead tune work really nicely. However, I felt there was a slight over-reliance on tweening at times and showing the same mcs multiple times (like the pig or exploding buildings) kinda brought it down for me.
I felt that for a movie of this style, there perhaps wasn't enough going on - faster action, or more fbf shenanigans or other visual candy would have brought it up a notch.
As is, I found myself getting a bit tired of it after a while - with no narrative, it's down to the visuals to prop it up so you need to work a bit harder - inject more humour, more of your cool animated animals or a bit of colour, like you had with the trumpets.

Author's Response:
I would have scanned the burnt paper background but my scanner is kind of...
..not scanning right now.
Its broken.
As for the repitition, I found it neccisary to keep in spirit of the analogy series...
..and also having a storyline and/or narrative would go against it.
Though, I could have added more humor to this project but I guess I forgot to deliver in that area.
Also, the lack of color was used as contrast to make the falling trupets mroe significant and for better blending with the paper background.
Anyway, thanks for the review.
Bye bye now.
