First things first though, this here is the bare minimum animation simply because I just didn't have enough time to do everything. I had so much more planned for this piece, and there have been a vast amount of scenes I had to delete from my original idea.
To me the actual drawings in the work are a bit messy and scruffy- I really would've loved to have made it quite crisp and smooth but again my time constraints, and the large amount of animation that would've been needed, was getting the better of me. The timing is horrendous in more places than one, and whats more I can see all sorts of bad errors. All in all it could've been better.
But after saying that I do plan on going back to this once all my deadlines are over with. I think this has a lot of potential and if given the time necessary I might be able to make it into the piece I wanted it to be! Ah it'd be great to finally work on my own person projects without the looming fear of a deadline over my head
And now the moment of truth- I'd like you guys to please answer the following questions for me:
Did you enjoy the Animation or not?
If you did, or didnt, why? Please try to give specific reasons.
Was the animation easy to follow? If not please state your reasons.
What improvements do you feel could be made?
Overall would you say the animation is a hit or miss?
Thank you all so much for participating and doing this for me, it's a great help. Try your best to answer as truthfully (and brutally if need be) so I can gain a collective conclusion to what I've created
Ah I feel like doing a thank you drawing now...but not till I'm done with deadlines
Enjoy!

EDIT: That's the best sepia tone I can make in flash I'm afraid- I tried to find a damned decent swf- avi converter but there aren't any really good ones that do the job I need. God damn, I tried for hours searching for programs and none worked how I wanted. So sorry for the weak ass grunge feel ._.
Ok guess I'll give you some feedback, not sure how useful it'll be though. I did enjoy the animation, mainly because of the style used, it reminds me of looney tunes cartoons I used to watch as a kid and the content was pretty funny. The animation was pretty easy to follow, I couldn't see any problems with it, everything was displayed clearly. I'm not sure about if there is any improvements to it that would need doing. I'd say the animation was a definate hit, it was short, punchy, well drawn and the animation was smooth.
Not being an artist or animator I'm not sure how useful this is but I liked it. Keep it up ^^

I enjoyed it. It's been so long since I've seen classic cartoon antics. I liked the animation of this piece, and I think it has potential to be something special. The animation to me seems like a mix of old looney toons and anime animation. I would say this is a hit.

Did you enjoy the Animation or not? it is ok, there are no strong feeling about ok.
If you did, or didnt, why? Please try to give specific reasons. I don't normally do this because I concider myself a terrible layman in the field , however I think I might just be useful in this case:
The Scratches are far to sumetrical, it far to easy to spot it as being a loop, the loop is far too short , I would suggest dropping it or making it long and more random also add stains or smuges so it not all the same. I found it distracting since I could see a pattern. Also if age was the goal of the piece then Dialog frames like silent films could really added to it the period look that I think you were trying to create. The colour for the Gold was of, it should have had a tan colour not the dark colour, it looks to mich like iron or steel. The hat should have come down Charred at least, [honestly it should have been is charred body hit the grow with the hat flooting like a feather, but I understand time is an issue] Was the animation easy to follow? If not please state your reasons. Yes it had good flow.
Overall would you say the animation is a hit or miss?
I would call it a foul tip, several small things distract from the whole of cartoon, I can see lots of work but it end up no impact in the end it might be because it was so homage that it just wasn't as funny as it should have been . perhaps some twist could have helped.

If you did, or didn’t, why? Please try to give specific reasons.
-I particularly loved the style you did it in. It has a real classic feel, and was instanly reminescent of the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. I also think the characters' facial expressions are done very well.
Was the animation easy to follow? If not please state your reasons.
-yes, even with the lack of dialogue. very linear and easy to follow. i think it would be better without dialogue anyway.
What improvements do you feel could be made?
-the only thing i noticed was the letter 'a' in the beginning with the shape tween, but then again, it looks kinda cool that way. XD
Overall would you say the animation is a hit or miss?
-HIT

1. Of course I did! 2. The drawings are simple and Ive seen a few mistakes on them (but no wonder since they were made fast) but the animation though also simple looks good... The idea was great and it was very funny! ^_^ b I enjoyed it! 3. It was... Np in this part... 4. I dont think I can suggest you anything you wouldnt know already... : / 5. Hit! ^_^
The drawing was nice, the animation seemed well done, the effects to make it look like an old sepia print worked very well.
My biggest complaint was the derivativeness of it. I felt at times like you had just traced human characters over an old roadrunner cartoon. There were no surprises in it because I'd seen both those schemes before.
