That was pretty good! You're pretty good at animating. How did you do that? Was that masking, because that was pretty smooth.

Yeah, the masking took me about 2 hours.
very nice, at first i though it was green screening because it was so good.
NOTE- you may want to take that .avi off of the name... it's not important and it's just plain ol' anoying

Oh I didn't realize that. I'll be sure to take it off.
If you add a shadow under it it would be perfect.
It's very well done.

Do you realize how hard that would be!!!

I'm still trying to figure that out.
Nice

This is the worst possible critique you can give for a test; it's not constructive, it's far too vague and it doesn't even tell the creator if you thought the test was good or bad. Now don't do it again. *stern gaze*
The animation of the brick was very good (even if the wobbling was just a tad exaggerated) but did didn't look right without a shadow. It's not difficult to take an image editing software like GIMP or Photoshop, set a black brush to 0% hardness and about 40% transparency and paint in a shadow underneath.
Thanks for the tip Hazzat!

I'l try to make a better comment next time
What did you use for masking? It was very good although i have to agree you should add a shadow.
But very good work!

I used Photoshop CS3 Extended. Next time I'll try to add a shadow.
Excellent job! I love the added detail of his hands rotating.
Photoshop? PAH! Gimp is the way to go! 
It's free too.

Not very hard.
You could take this footage, and then add another layer on top of it and decrees the brightness and add a mask with a gaussian blur around the edges as the 'shadow' under the brick, if you used software that was geared to animation/film you could keyframe the mask to move and resize make the shadow, which would be pretty easy.
It could be done in Photoshop or gimp but it pains me to think of doing it that way it wouldn't be to hard in After Effects or the cheaper Compositelab Pro
