I produced an animation for the Fox/Aniboom holiday animation contest. This is a short "trailer" for a longer format storyline that I have in mind.

I'll take the first stab at deprecation. While I spent most of the production time painting the backgrounds I left myself with little time for animating it. The stiff and awkward movements really detract from it. There are also a few scenes where the character drawings could be vastly improved. I thought the gags would play-out much funnier, but they fall a bit flat.
This was my first time using AS. Backgrounds were painted in Photoshop, and editing/mixing was done in Sony Vegas.
I didn't spend much time crafting the perfect rig for the characters and this bit me in the ass later as I ended up doing a lot of point animation cleanup.
Anyway, a lot was learned from this, so the next will be better.
