What do you guys think so far of my animation?

Not a problem. I'll take any kind of criticism (I was asking for it after all).

It's mostly the effects and lighting I used that made the video turn out like this (thus the girl's face being red). I have made some videos with better quality (I was testing out some effects in this particular video).

And thank you. I'm glad you liked it. ^^

Thank you, and there most definitely is some way to screw up. XD
For example: Not saving your work before rendering (the software can crash and then you lose [i]everything[/i]), putting things in the wrong area, and/or not following the music correctly.

I suppose, my sister did something like this and it seems rather straightforward if you actually try. Clearly you are competent in the format.

@Jackaloftheazuresand: When I first started using the software, I had no idea what I was doing (it wasn't straightforward at all). XD I had to figure things out on my own (sometimes found help online). It took me about a year to figure out mostly everything (this is my second year using the software). There's still so much for me to learn.

And thank you, I think I'm quite competent, too, but I'm not nearly as good compared to others who have used the software.

Thank you. :)
