    My friends haven't gone away, my house hasn't burnt down.
    Have your friends gone away? Has your house burnt down?
    If not, I really don't see the point of that...

    it looks alright, the quality when looking at it on Youtube the text looks crappy
    at the end i couldn't really see anything, it looks as if you tried to put a fade on it, but it just didn't execute properly; also at the beginning it keeps going up and down and in 3rd dimensions, which didn't really attract me to it. i was hoping at the end that it would form a symbol/character
    i have also seen another ones of these, if you want i'll post them up for you as an example
    you can also search on youtube/google/vimeo: kinetic typography

    It's pretty cool. It seems a little plain with the black background and red text, but the other parts in the video look really nice.

    Ya, it looks cool. But I miss the point of the text. Couldn't you of done it about something more interesting? The "story" is kind of boring.

    What program did you use?

    You used the same animation/scene over and over, makes it kind of boring....

    It alright, could be better. It was just repeated over and over. Try making something unique

    I agree. It could be more thrilling or exciting. It could definitely be more unique. But it's a start. Was that the first one you've ever tried?

    Re: Last summer's after effects project...

    Yes, first text animation, and yes it did repeat because my computer was becomming bogged down from the text and some of the effects so I had to wrap it up quickly. Also in some places where itl ooks like it repeats, its atually a completely different area, but just has the same feel, like the sink like a stone part. No story line b/c its obviously a text animation, kinda hard to incorporate one. But yeah it basically was a first tr y... (watch in high qualyity and it looks better) Oh and I used adobe after effects (hence the title).
