Not all bedtime monsters are your worst nightmare!

A first submission anywhere is always nerve-racking haha...

Anyway this is an animation I created as a final piece for college! It took around 5 weeks, I had to make a multimedia outcome so I decided to do a trailer/opening sort of thing haha. this is my second stab at doing some 2d animation so this was one hell of a challenge, it was also my first time working with toonboom so I learnt loads from this project.

I have to apologise for the quality dulling at the end, but with a 20mb limit and exporting from toonboom as an flv, some of the sharp quality was lost ):

I'm starting Uni this september to learn character animation so if you have any constructive crit about the animation or how I can improve in general- fire away!

For anyone who would like to see the hd version in muuuuch much better quality, it's up on my youtube :) http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=IFnqsQQE4g8
If the youtube link doesnt work I apologise! It looks like newgrounds is automatically breaking it

For a first it was great but you diddn't give the owner of the song credit in any way :/

Thanks! You can find credit to the artist at the end :) Sorry it isn't as clear as I'd hoped haha

Short lived but quite enjoyable. I recommend using the idea for a game as this looks like an opener for such game, to the point where I was expecting a Start button after the end.

Well I have to admit that my review is a lot like Staroge's as far as the visual aspect of the feedback.
But even with that to say the story was original and fun. And I do disagree with Staroge's idea for the music. My volume is always set to only about 75% so I didn't have the "yelling in my ear" part, but I though that music was a good fit because it kept everything upbeat. The music helps set the mood for the story so you could have put something in the Metal genre and probably made it feel like a dark action flick despite the almost-cute animation style (see all the action flicks made during Pico-Day as perfect examples). So I though the music kept things pleasant and more on the bright side.
Now of course this falls into each persons taste for music, so I'll not give anyone too much guff for music ideas. But even with a disagreement for music choices I think many agree that this was awesome. Cheers Mate.

For a first submission it's lovely, normally people would say something like "it was good but should be longer", I actually WANT it to be longer.
