I didn't finish! This is about as far as I got until I ran out of both time and memory. Seriously, my computer is having spasms; I used all of my virtual memory trying to make this thing. And it's only...40 seconds or so long...plus a little bit at the end so you can hear more of Yoko Kanno's "Inner Universe."

Mostly, I'm upset I couldn't animate my kickass fightscene I had going around in my head. Perhaps I'll story board it and put up that and you can all just hum Inner Universe outloud or something. :sigh:

So, in conclusion--30 days and a laptop are not enough to master the skills it takes to make a minute-long animated flash. At least, not if you're a procrastinator like myself. Oh well...what I do have, I like. (If I was able to pan just a little more, Jace would've eventually disappeared, but his clothes would've stayed visible. They had their own separate layers and everything. Woe.)

Que sera, sera, folks. Maybe some day I'll get to do the whole thing. But that day is not this day. This day...we fight. Er...yeah.

EDIT:
It's not much, but I was able to animate just a tiny bit more of what the supposed training scene would have begun to look like--basically it's me fooling around in Flash for the last three hours I was able to get it to work. [link] Fire vs. Water, ya'll.

EDIT the SECOND:
For those wanting to know just what the heck is going on, or who these people are...

The Character Lineup Sheet

(Admittedly, if you're even slightly invested in the story, the flash does kinda spoil a few things, but nothing too serious.)
