    Well that was an interesting technique using Flash. Do you think that if you have a wacom tablet that drawing in AE would be as easy as in FLASH? It was refreshing. I like the beginning of the video thinking that I downloaded the wrong movie file. LOL.

  7. Rutger says:

    Oeh I like it! First thing I thought of though, was that a decent motion blur on the whip would make the scene have a lot more impact. Could be wrong though.

    Nice effect, only criticism is – no motion blur
