I thought it was pretty good, but can someone give me some tips on how 2 improve? Sorry, it's a little short. :ohwell:

Tip #1: Don't do "pivot" animation with crappy tweening. Get a tablet, and draw each frame with the paint brush. Maybe you can't draw, but who cares, it won't be any worse than a bunch of sausages. Draw each key pose in the animation, and then use onion skinning to draw the in-betweens.

Tip #2: Nothing really happened there. It just looked like bunch of random things. Have at least some shred of narrative in your animation, or at least do something cooler.

Tip #3: My last point doesn't really apply until you have learned the basics and are able to make a finished piece. But first, practice little movements, and do stuff like walk cycles.
