You know, Andi3D, if I had life to live over again, I would have gotten into computer graphics, video special effects and animation from it's inception as I would have been prepping myself in the prior years with video, art and graphics training. I just love doing this stuff, but it's not my day job (I'm an energy consultant struggling to keep the bills paid month to month). That's why it took over nine months to make this thing (including a couple months lost to the hard drive crash), as I had only so much of my spare time to devote to it. If I win the lottery, the day job disappears in a heartbeat and I'll gladly spend most all of my waking hours learning computer animation and film making techniques, making tons of animation that are backlogged in my brain, and die a happy person. In the meantime, I'll just plod along best I can. Who knows, maybe someone will offer me an opportunity to work on a real animation project some day. It certainly does make me feel very good, though, to receive all the compliments I'm getting about the animation. (Almost brings a tear to my eye.) I get a kick out of knowing that other people can enjoy what I did.
