I had to make a loading screen for my animation (fyi, Junior Animation Challenge Malaysia 07) and the requirements: a stupid program.

yes, i know this loading screen has flaws and it suck, and thats because the program suck.

but i just had to get someone's opinion on this. How's this one?

fyi again, yes that warning screen is extracted from mordi's game. there will be an acknowledgment in the credits.

Apart from the horrible colorscheme, it's good I guess. I don't know, I don't usually get excited over loading screens, I'd rather they didn't excist at all!

Looks very empty. But the animation is nice.

The letters need to be coloured inside.

Also, the 'N' seems to be covered up.

May I ask what program you are using?

I'd rather they didn't excist at all!

..?

I'd much rather have a loading screen than be forced to stream an animation.

..?

I'd much rather have a loading screen than be forced to stream an animation.He probably means having no loading at all, as in instant.

That crossed my mind, but I decided to go with the other route.

Well, every single person who's done some kind of animation has made a bouncing ball, so you won't win any points of originality there.

Perhaps you could use parts of the animation itself in the loadbar? I don't know what it is about so I can't really suggest anything specific, but like one of the characters doing something silly..

Needs ALOT of work. Try to make it relevant for the thing you're making it for. Two art-styled boxes with a peice of text (without a letter, I might add) isn't relevant to much.

Also, what's with you and bouncing balls? :rolleyes:
