So, I've been screwing around with Adobe After Effects for a week over an animation that I wanted to submit to Newgrounds. The movie is called CHEAPO COMPUTERS USA. It's nearly two minutes in length, and when you look at it, you can probably tell that I've been inspired by Egoraptor.

This is actually my very first animation project, and my very first submission to Newgrounds. I've previously had technical difficulties just trying to render the thing correctly and trying to implement a loader. When I first submitted the movie, it was without a loader, and the sound didn't play at all. Amazingly, that malfunctioning flash file passed the judgement phase, but I deleted it shortly afterwards.

The stable version that's on NG is still rough around the edges, but the public has responded well enough for the flash to get a modestly high score, and I'm really happy for that. Check it out for yourself. You may have to wait for the loading to be done, since it's almost 10 megs, but it should be worth the wait. :-)
