'Everything Will End' - Animation

Created in Macromedia/Adobe Flash around the theme of life to a song about death. The animation is everything that came in to my head over the two days it took to make. Some of the animation is a bit choppy, and the frame rate has been picked to bits while exporting for YouTube.

Thanks for looking,

It's hard to comment on this in general because it's such an unusual piece. There's nothing I've seen that I can compare it to.

I can comment on the quality of your animation though:

For the most part I found that the effects you used (especially with the abstract shapes) were very nicely executed and professional looking, like something I would expect to see in a commercial. This is very difficult to achieve in Flash, so good job!

On the other hand, there were also a few effects that I would have thought twice about, like squishing the font on "dive" or the way you animated the jumping on "jump" (unless that was just a compression thing).

All in all I think that this is a nice piece. I can't really say anything more about it

I really like the animation. Very nice ideas on the various words.
The only part that I dont Like is the "inner shadow" on Make The Most most of it.
Good job though, and cool song btw.

Thanks for your comments, I wasn't to keen on the "Dive" animation or the "Make The Most of It", both animations were rather last minute to be honest.
In the next few days, I might try and upload a .swf and slow some of the animation down for you to see how the animation was supposed to look.
