Nicely done
You probally aint gonna answer since im the 600th somethin somethin, but Ill try anyway.
The tracers that followed the surprise fighter, were they in a movie clip layer or
on the main time line layer. and if so were they just simple movie clip filters or were those frame by frame.
That's what caught my eye the most, i can't see them being filters because I noticed some of them moveing independently of the main animation, but ive been wrong before. Anyways I'd like to know.
Nice job by the way,and nicely done, quite humourus to and sad, and great ending. Practice is true, I've been workin on one for two weeks and im excited about it. But holy crap you've got some talent there.
For criticzim try using a darker color for words I got a plasma screen so others might not have the same problem but it was hard to read the pink words the old guy said, at least to me. And again nice job :)
