It has been a while since I have finished a cartoon. It is a parody of the P90X infomercial. Hope you all enjoy.

Well done. Good movements...something I need to work on.

I had some problems with the camera movements.

When I did the before and after pictures, I used a png as an overlay for the before picture. The after picture was done in Anime Studio. I tried to slowly zoom in but I could not do so smoothly. You will notice it most especially with Pikachu. The screen tries to zoom in on the center but since I only want it to zoom in on the right side; it created an unwanted effect.

Any advice?

Doesn't it zoom in toward the origin? I'm too much of a beginner I guess. But, I would have thought that if you set the origin where you wanted the camera to center on, it would zoom toward it.

if you want the two sides to zoom on their own centerpoint, you can't do it with a camera move... seperate each side into its own group or layer and scale them at the same rate, use masking on the upper layer to keep a clean edge and have the division line on its own layer above everything else...

As far as the animation itself is concerned, its a fun idea - but a bit long for my tastes

It would be much more powerful at something like 30-40 seconds with only 1 or 2 interviews while showing the other characters over the voiceover in much quicker succession... the gag loses it's impact over 2+ minutes
