My first animation that I enjoy. I welcome feedback, pros and cons. Besides lack of story because I know their really was not any. But I am ready to hear from you guys and move forward, tell me what you think!

I liked the music? As you mention, story? But the first thing I would change is the out lines of the characters, I use variable lines widths. The other is background and foreground.

Variable Line widths as in?

Under fill there is a tool that looks like ski slope triangle or just press 'w' after sectioning point or points. Move your mouse left or right.

I tend to make the lines going from the body up to the neck thinner. The chin thick, then just even with the mouth thin, and farther up the face the out line is thicker but not as thick as the chin. This is what I do. You should do the out lines according what you think looks good.

Very nice!
But it's a bit confusing, the camera runs everywhere!

Yeah sorry bout the camera movements... trying them all out

And you mean the Line Width tool? I use that excessively... that's just my style I guess.
