Wow, I'm happy to rock the 9, Wolfnine! Especially since it's your signature number! Thanks a million!

Yes, the class did seem to sort of condense about six months of learning and classwork into a short little two month time span. Not to mention 30 seconds simply isn't enough time for some serious swordplay action!

Nice little "Sagi" reference there, too, Wolfnine. I'll be getting back to him and his world as soon as I can, believe me. I also checked out your animation project and left you a review, so check it out! Peace!

Well, this is just my first go at it, after all. I'm hoping to bring more of a "wow factor" to future animations, but since this was for my college course there were just too many considerations that hurt the overall production. Max 30 second animation, only two weeks to work on it...it is what it is. :P

I also purposefully left the truth of who died a mystery to promote discussion in class. It really worked, and there's nothing wrong with leaving people wanting a little more is there? ;) Some people even toyed with the idea that they both killed each other...

On the bright side, I hope to add more depth to future animations. I would have loved for this to be more frame-by-frame as opposed to vector-based, but animating with just a mouse is something of a detriment.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your review. I appreciate your honesty, and I hope you'll give my future animations the same kind of feedback.

I'm really glad you like it, and I'd love to tell you now, but...

You'll have to wait to find out who lived - and who didn't - in a future animation!

I stated that it was short and why in the Author Comments section.

I confess to being a bit confused about how "good animation and drawings" translates to such a low score of 1...
