			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks for the comment, I can work on more things, 

I filmed it at 15 FPS, I haven't filmed at that rate in a while so I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

  It was just a test to see what I could do with after effects.

 But again, thanks for the comment]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The animation is all right. It could be better, but I'm sure you'll get better with practice. I'm not exactly sure at what frame rate you animated this, but you might want to switch to a higher fps. The shot in which the guy with superpowers appeared was very choppy. Make sure the camera is secure when filming; it moved very noticeably once. The camera pan was very sudden; it's important that you use the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrRJAiIepY]ease in, ease out principle[/url] when animating camera movements.

The effects are interesting. I don't know too much about effects technically-speaking, but I'll tell you what I thought about how they look. The part where the guy is cut in half doesn't look realistic. I believe it's because you cut out the prongs that hold minifigs together and his mid-section in general seems to be missing a lot. Although it casts no light on the characters, the lightning itself looks pretty good. 

The part where the guy explodes looks strange to me. I think this is just me because - in most cases - I don't really like when people use different scales of bricks together. What I mean is: if you had made him explode into a bunch of 1x1 plates that looked to be the same size as they would be if it was done in-shot, I would've liked it better. But that's just me. Also, it'd better if the transition from minifig to tiny bricks was smoother. Once again though, I'm not very experienced with visual effects at all. I hope somebody who knows more about them can give you some better advice, but I'm sure there's plenty of tutorials that can help you.

On a side note, you shouldn't make a new thread about something because your first thread got no replies. You're more likely to get a reply if you simply post in your first thread again, asking for feedback, as people will see that you've been waiting.]]></content>
