It's good, it's 2D and pretty simple, but good if you are just starting.

I can only guess that you are drawing each picture then putting them in order with some sort of GIF animation program etc.


If you want to really start expressing your ideas and creativity,.. you might want to take a look at some animation software like Lightwave_3D (http://www.newtek.com/lightwave/)  or Maya (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018)  or even Softimage (http://www.softimage.com/)

These programs allow you to open up your world of creativity in digital form.

It's good, better then what we had to do in 7th grade for computer class.  Try to fade the flames to gray for smoke or expand them out in each successive frame.  But that's just details, no biggie.

Yeah I am just starting out really in animating. Though I dont draw each frame, I just move the pieces with the free form select. I was actually quite pleased about how the seperation of the pieces turned out.

The seperation sequences are totally inaccurate, the Saturn V jettisons the interstage assembly, it doesn't hold onto it during the next burn.  ESPECIALLY on the S-IV stage where every ounce is absolutely critical!

:D

Good animation, I'm just joshin' ya.

the dent was from selecting the rocket a little too close to the side and then covering up it in the pencil

thanks everyone for the comments :)

Rename it the Ares crew launch vehicle simulation and see if NASA buy it from you.
