Not bad for the first go.
It sounds like this took a lot of work
considering it was made in After Effects. All the different
moving parts having to be tweened by frame must have been a pain
but rest-assured it turned out admirable. I'm imagining the alternative
method of handdrawing everything and, no offense, would have looked
amateur so animating it like this was wise.
I liked the concept and how you executed it. It left wondering what else
you have in store for this series -- if there is one, which the possibility is there.
It also got me thinking about evolution as a whole. As many branches of life there
are, there would have to be a few carbon-based duds. (These are there stories. BUMBUM.)
I cant wait to see what else you have in mind in the future. And trust me, as hard as it is now,
the more you animate the easier it becomes.
