i really like it-
I like the bouncing...can't say anything more
I think if you do anything more to it- it might start to get "too busy" if you know what i mean
i wish you put it up in its entirety just so i could see the whole flow of things
One thing though- at the end- I kinda liked the "Push B to go into Clay mode" thing you had

OMG make it stop!
Hi,
Thanks. The end text? Really? Ok, interesting ... did it remind you of Mario? I may keep that in if that's a general feeling, but if this new version isn't working with you, that's a note. I made them bigger so that the transition would be easier on the mind instead of small characters to big pixel clay characters, but I can add in frames of small characters going big.
Thanks for the feedback.

It goes right to the spot!
Few things, again ,) caught my attention.
3D scene looks very nice, but hope it would have some color corrections in the post-production? Maybe it`s just me, but think it needs some more contrast (while saturation is preserved). Also, speed of the camera movement... not sure what to say, but there`s some smoke in it.
Little stick, that pushes the B button, comes from an odd direction and has kind a strange movement. Perhaps, enter for bottom-right, but then give it a simple rotation toward the button? On the other hand, it is useful to have some awkward movement in the video, it might make people watch it again... to make sure if they saw it correctly ,)
... and, +1 for the text at the end. It was quite nice and complementary for the mood of the hole video (pixels, video games.. etc).
All in all, very very nice job!

Whoa, you added a LOT. You're some kind of super animation robot machine, cranking out frames of animation like...(dang, I need an analogy)...like an oak tree cranks out acorns?
Cripes, you even improved things that looked fine the way they were.
Anyhow, the bit you posted looks great! Keep doing what you're doing and good luck not going over your deadline.

Very Cool Mikdog! Just watched your improvements. I like the 3D scene better now. The lighting is much better the second time 'round. The 3d has a Minecraft feel to it. Also like the other character cameos. FTW
Question: How do you get the 16-bit effect with Anime Studio? I recently was trying to do that by rendering out image at low resolutions and then scaling them up but all it does is blur the edges.

Hiya,
I draw things at low resolution in Photoshop then bump it up before bringing it into AS. Bit of a pain, but its the best solution I've found.
Bump up in Photoshop with nearest neighbor interpolation and at axact multiples (if your image is 10 pixels width, bump up to 20 pixels width, or 30 pixels or something so you keep the squareness. If you bump up to 15 pixels you'll get weird looking shapes)

Ahoy.
A little bit more. Colours working for you? yes/no?

More bouncing.

hmm- like is said before- i think now, it is maybe too much.
I think having the 3 character bouncing is good- i dunno about having the bosses bounce-(edit) I think it would make sense since the'yre not part of the gold fish- Also I wouldn't keep the bouncing throughout the whole vid because some of the later scenes- I rewatched the first thing- would not be served by it
the color that starts at :08 with the saxaphone fight I think is really TOO much. I think it's starting to get like one of those japanese seizure inducing cartoons- I do like the fishy time and when they got the keyboard and sax though
maybe you want to consider not having that much color - it's kinda hard on the eyes- atleast i think
I think in that respects without those color tints it was fine the way it was

Any feedback you have, please let me know. As I near the end of this production I want to nudge and tweak as much as possible.
Many thanks,
Mike
