Tommy. I will tell you the bad points so you can improve on them on both animations.
Animation 1:
Falls weird, bullet goes slow then goes fast. And when he got shot by sniper, i feel the blood should of came out quicker. Keep trying mate.
Animation 2:
They float off the ground. When he throws sword in to him its a bit weird. Keep trying, your get better. I'm still pretty crap, but i'm ok-ish.

it needs work.And you should blur the whole thing and show it where the guy lands.It was alright.

2.5/5 on the low-beginner scale.Only because it lacked main intrest,lacked effects which I am strict on(by effects I mean half of the blur),work on easing and that will result in a better animation.

also,I'm with you on Beast and the Harlot

you've seen some of my animations right..ya know the ones that are a lot better than 95% of the ones in this thread.Either way I don't know for sure.But what I do know is my animations are better than yours,akuzu.And I'm not even medium beginner.I'm not trying to discourage you or anything.But I get irritated when people ask that when I'm better than them. it was alright,work on physics,blood,easing,smoothing,effects,the usual.and the cinime thing is supposed to show a zoomed in thing,so I couln't tell if the figures were taller than 100 pixels.Keep working on it and if it's not finished work on the stuff I listed in this post....damn this is a long post.lol.

edit:: pm me if you have trouble or have a few questions

Yeah, work on the choppyness of the beam, if its a good effect, the choppyness kills it. The beam was okay but beams don't need 5 or 6 diffrent colors, its just needs 2 or maybe 3 with a good look to it.

The kick had very little force to it and it just swung. To build more of a kicking motion you need to bend the knee and when he brings his leg back make it slow down once its close to its desination and put in a frame of no movement right after that then swing the leg forward... Thats how I do it atleast. Whatever, give it a try.
