Did you make the beam itself or did you download it?

Like I said before I make everything myselfe And so yes I made the beam myselfe do not want to sound mean but you should not take conclusions if you do not know fore sure

It is not that hard to make a circle and a strait line thats al it takes ow and the line around the beam of course but thats a long strait line whit a lot of joints.

well the beam doesnt really look that good because the lines around it dont move during the blast and its all stationary.
Personally i make mine much shorter with one quick burst. And so that everyone knows no i didnt make them myslef i downloaded the basic sticks from doridz and edited them.

After he shoots the beam the big line(s) that made up the main beam were fine but the small wavy line that was around it didnt look good.
(the blast = the time when the beam is fired to the time it finishes)

The wavy line could look good - it just needs to slowly move towards the man. For an effect you made yourself it's extraordinarily good.

Good job i likw it :D
Now for some CC
The beam is good but the stickman's feet move a bit funny when he fires it.
One possibility is to make him lean forward a bit more or make him take a step back to emphasise the recoil of the beam

The beam itself looks nice, but everything else is poorly done (movements of the guy, the beam charging up, etc)

I can understand that if you were focusing only on making the beam though.
