I can't thank all of you people enough for voting on my animation to keep it on the site! I was concerned it would not pass in the end, but I'm glad it received a great score and even appeared in the Best New Games & Movie list! I 'd like to thank Karasz (AKA CrispyToastYT), rhlpixels, and Twoeliz for the direct support! You really saved my video through your efforts!
With that said, I need to figure out why my video wasn't exactly a four-star one. I have a hunch that there are areas that need improvement, so any sort of suggestions I could consider for next time are helpful as long as they are presented civilly. So far, I was told on a Discord sever that the Koopa jumping on the bridge didn't need to have the camera tracking it so closely. Instead, I could just zoom it out to better showcase the jump. At first, I had no real idea on how to archive this, but I have an idea or two at this point. Unfortunately, it's a bit too late for applying it, so I'll address actions like that in my next work. I had my warmup, so now a more ambitious product awaits!
