This is an animation I did just recently last semester for my Screen Arts class at university.
It is a parody looking at frustration, and struggles.
Basically this project was a way to explore the visual side of story telling without the use of dialogue or text. Most importantly I wanted to explore a different medium than film, which I usually explore in my projects at uni, and use my style to present my idea. It originated as a simple 10 frame short story board test for one of my film classes. So I wanted to see it actually animated.
The music is a loop of the introduction of "Nightmare of Sesame Street" by the 80s band, Green Jelly. That's the only thing that is not officially mine. The song is pretty cool, check it out!
This is my first time animating in flash, and my very first animation on here, so that is why it is fairly simple and basic. XD
A bit of advice, turn up the sound pretty loud, it has a really good effect at the end.
Well, take a look, and enjoy! ^_^
nothing interesting
no story, no graphics, no great animation, music could have been used in much better way, no interesting point at all...
It's not because it's your first animation that it must be your first submition...
You still got a lot to learn...
keep up working
It was good
It was good for a first submition

Not very good.
There was just something about the animation that was so dull. It was rather bland and repetitive. Also, you might want to think about adjusting the fps, I think it's still running at 12 fps (default). You should think about increasing it significantly, adding some more content, and generally just spruce it up.
That was odd.
The graphics were better then I could do, and I liked the music, it fit.. I love random humor as much as anyone else but this didn't hit my funnybone. Or maybe I'm just to silly to get it. Keep animating though, great job for a first try! ANd also, stories without dialouge are awesome, no matter what anyone tells you. Words only kill a stpry sometimes...
yawn.
If this is they best you got in the story-telling department, I'm thinkin' maybe you might wanna reconsider your aim to be a writer or director. Either that or work REALLY hard to improve. The story was way shallow, and boring as all hell. Animation-wise, it was ok for first flash I guess.
