It's not only you Zenin, but you do seem to be a driving force of the bragging and discouragement side of the animation forums. You do have useful input, but some of the stuff you type, is frankly, uneccesary and quite innapropriate. That talk about the "rash of lame animations" and stuff can be very discouraging for a team just starting with animation.
Now I know that your first animation attempt wasnt all that great, as you admitted that fact on these boards, and neither was mine or anybodies, for that matter. A first attempt at animation will always look lower on the scale than, say something PIXAR or Dreamworks has created. Even against the other competition in this award. That's what we are here for, to help each other out and show each other how to create a better animation.
Just do me one small favor, If you're going to mention unconstructive criticism with a serious tone, please look at your previous posts, and take a pause to think about what you are typing before you post it. I'm sure the entire group will appreciate it as well. It's called Gracious Professionalism, and hopefully that would apply to the other down-talkers on this group.
Thank you.
Good luck to everyone, and Happy Animating. It should be as a job in animation happens to be one of the, not only most hardworking, but goofiest jobs on this planet.

PS: Thank you to Devil's Kid and Daishichimaru for having the guts to post about this first. I thought I was the only one who felt so about certain Ungracious Unprofessionals on this forum.
PPS: To the Ungracious Unprofessionals, there's still a chance to change. Just keep thinking "What Would Dean Do?"
