Really smooth.  More than any brickfilm I've ever seen this one really captures the true look of human motion!

Wow, thanks a lot! I just really need to start working on an actual film, not just tests.

Re: My Final (Hopefully) Test Compilation

It was alright, but I felt that you added and extended shots such as the into, the flag and outro in order to lengthen the duration of the video. A point of advice would be to just show the main footage and nothing else. It may seem humorous at the time, but to the viewer it can become really confusing and can really get in the way of the main idea of the video.

For the animation, the pan shot of the man at the elevator was quite choppy. I recommend building a pan track (there are several tutorials on YouTube).

Those were tests, too. They intro was a test in after effects, and the flag was a test in Blender. The outro was, well, an outro. I would not intentionally lengthen a film because I feel it is too short because would lead to long, drawn out segments and would detract from the plot. This idea is similar to putting a length requirement on essays. If it fully establishes an idea, there is no need to express it further through hollow statements.

A test video isn't really intended to make sense, and I felt that tests are often quite boring but I see that through my futile attempts to add a hint of humor, it really detracted from the video.

I was using one, but it was very bad as you can tell.

Above all, thanks for the feedback as I can never get better without knowing what I need to improve upon mini/smile Also, I wouldn't put up a video asking for feedback and get mad at the feedback I receive, it doesn't make sense.
