a sprite animator´s transition from an 8bit world to a vector one. to sprite or not to sprite?

The title is the question.................
.the animation ...is the answer

Originally started as a music video for butterfly boucher´s "changes", I made this movie as my sweet goodbye to sprites and all related to them..for a while. I have been trough a lot of stuff lately. Should I sprite? are sprite movies declining on popularity? Do I really want to keep spriting? I guess I made this animation to remind myself a goal. start making more original content. I truly want to be a great animator one day, and this animation is the beginning of the pursuit of my goal.

To all my sprite mates, I dedicate this video to you, Im sorry Im leaving sprites, but It really its time for me to move on to greater things.

Thanks to all. I hope you enjoy watching this flash as much as I enjoyed making it.

"Awesome concept"

It was a great way to go from sprite animation to regular hand drawn animation into some sort of music montage it was very enjoyable and i think you did an excellent job on both the sprite & regular animation and the idea for the flash also kudo for the music cause it fit perfectly.

"Good to see an animator do more than just sprite."

I thought it was pretty good. The animation was okay but I thought pixel art was good. You should try to pixel art. It's better than spriting. Overall, love to see some next animations from you.
