A music video due in about 14 days. This also might be the first ever 2D + 3D animation combo ever since JustSolo made Taegugkigu.

CNC is much appreciated. Mostly towards the 3D flag pole, gradients, color, and angles.

looks promising till now, your biggest issue is the color selection and the abuse of gradients, for this reason sometimes is hard to read the image, for example the buildings where all gray from the outside and it makes it difficult to see where one ends and the other begins, don't be afraid to use darker color tones or more saturated ones, about the gradients some of them seem unnatural, keep in mind the color of the light and the color of the reflection.

I'm not very good at color selection but maybe this example might help.

That looks great, man. As far as CnC goes, I'd probably pick a different color for the lyric text on the bottom of the screen - sometimes yellow merges with yellow, etc. and it makes it hard to read. I thought the angles were great though; keep up the awesome work. :D

Thanks Philito! I do need some serious help on gradients and this seriously helped me out! [ Well a little. lol ] I'm not really good with choosing colors but I do appreciate the suggestion!

Yeah colors for the lyrics is a bit hard to read. I'll try to find a good color for it. Thanks for the CNC!

I think if you made the lyrics 3D (or just give them bevel or something) it would help make them easier to read.

Now that you mention 3D lyrics, I was thinking of placing lyrics with a 3D angle through buildings and on objects for a more cool view. :3

So what is the estimated finish time? Can't wait. This is the best stick movies ever since Oscar Johanson made the Castle series
(Well, that is my opinion...)

Wow, really? Thanks, dude! :D And also, the estimated time I were not to be bothered by anyone or anything would be by August 8th. That is when I am supposed to show this MV at a camp. There's over 800 people right now and I'm trying to make this my best.

Really really. Good luck, Yun! Hope to see this completed soon.
And I hope nobody will fu***** bother you. I'd kick their ass!

Oh, and one more thing, nice Starcraft sound (hehe)
