Your WORST animation ever? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! In my eyes this is a great animation!! The leaf's movement was very smooth and very clean on the outline just incredible to me when I saw this Great job but I have one question for you, how were you able to keep the rest of the background so still? Did you even have to re-draw the grave yard? Because it looked like you didnt' have to re-draw any of that and just re-drew the leaf itself.

Sorry it's just that I'm hoping in the future that I'll be able to animate traditionally since I drew digitally with a traditional like feel to it so I'm still kind of new when it comes to animating on paper. XD Anyways really awesome animation did it take a long time to do or..?

When I shot it, I put the paper down in the camera field, took the picture, and selected "hold." Then I shot the leaf on another layer without the background, and the program I was on combined them together.

This was the result of working over a few days, maybe 12 to 16 hours or so...? Not sure, I didn't time it.

Oh I see what you mean! Layers are so awesome when they come to stuff like that huh? Oh wow that's definately a lot of hours you had to work on! Well if it was that long on working on it I meant since your not really sure XD But still, even if it's bad in your eyes it's pretty good in other artist's eyes too

What program did you do all the animations with?

They're drawn by hand on animation paper, but I shot them with FlipBook on the college computers (DO NOT RECOMMEND).

Of course not. Besides, I've only ever animated with Adobe Flash in my technology class. Judging from the incidents that happened with that, I don't think animation is something that suits me.

No, I mean, I don't recommend FlipBook at all. It wasn't very user-friendly and it crashed all the time.

I'm certified with another animation program called ToonBoom Studio, but typically programs like Flash and ToonBoom are used either for commercials or TV animation, not for feature films. And don't judge animation based on Flash; it's geared towards programmers, not artists, and it's pretty bad for traditionally trained animators.

Oh, I thought you meant "Don't recommend, it's very high tech, professional kind of stuff".

Really? I didn't know that. The things you learn, huh?

No, I meant "Do not recommend" in the same way as "Do not want"
