Description Won me Best in Show at my Senior Art Exhibition

deviantArt is sometimes a little weird when it comes to playing this, so I apologize in advance if the music is out of sync with the animation. If it is (which will be obvious, I think), I recommend viewing elsewhere, selecting download on the right, or letting the video cycle once over before watching. This is the highest resolution version I have online.

Here's the animation I worked on all fall semester 2011. It's an excerpt from the fourth chapter of my fantasy novel series.
This isn't the ending I had in mind; the original ending was a lot more complicated and definitely longer. With my time limit, though, definitely not feasible. My teacher liked this ending, so I'm fine with it.

There are a million things wrong with it, I know; please don't point them out to me. I'm much better at animation than I was before, but I just don't have the time to fix the problems right now. Maybe I will later.

I'm so glad this became a DD, because it might have taken me a long time to find it otherwise.....
I love what you've done and I'm excited about your future artistic career!

I see puppet pin tooling I think~
We've been doing that for our ecard all day.
I want to be able to make something this amazing too. Though admittedly, I work better with other people. I rage quit today from people taking a piddle and not taking the project seriously even knowing we're submitting it publicly.

At least you've cheered my eyes up. The story of it is quite beautiful seems to fit quite well

I really, really like how the eyes are almost constantly changing colors. I noticed that right away too, and overall this animation makes me wonder what the full story is because if this is just one short piece then I'm sure the rest is just as amazing.

Love how the eyes changes color XD
So from after effects.. you made it into a swf? The only way I know how to fix the sound and animation sync is to pre-load the sound first. Or load the entire thing first but it would need a bit of Flash.

Amazingly done, and It's apparent that you put a lot of effort into each piece of this. It's very respectable! Would I be incorrect to assume this took a little inspiration from Fullmetal Alchemist?

i had to watch in youtube coz it's uber slow here.

wow, that was very dream-like, i mean, like a dream sequence. i love how the colour of the eyes keep changing. and the motions are fluid. i like the music too, i thought it was off at first, but turns out it wasn't.

very, very good. did you finish writing the novel?
