Very nicely done! I apreciate the talent. That can't have been very easy.

I'm considering stealing this one, too. its awesome.

Do you just make these one frame at a time?

Stealing is fine, as long as I'm credited! :)

Yep, I made it one frame at a time. Has to be done that way, at least when using the program I use. There's no talent to it really, just a lot of patience and fiddling about. This one was only awkward because I had to keep track of how much I'd dimmed two seperate panels in each frame, which were both on opposite ends of the scale. I've dealt with two panels before - I almost always use an image and a caption - but since I fade them both to black before brightening up another two it's a lot easier to keep track of. Dimming one while brightening another makes it very easy to mix things up.

Now that it's done I wish I'd placed the planet just a little bit higher so it would overlap the ball. Typical!

Gah! HTML tags in post! *sob*

I think everyone can appreciate the work put into something simple :) I like this one alot (not that there's much that you make that I don't like). I love the recent River animations, I think she is one of the main draws to new fans because of her mysteriousness.
