I'm very new at this. Just venturing out with actually doing the animating.

 

any feedback is appreciated

Surreal! But good.

On the walk after he meets the ball, you need to change the transition to blend....or replace....or add.

Hehe. If I say that was cool my critics will fume. <_>

 

So instead. I'll say that was really fun!

 

You said you were looking for feedback so here goes:

 

Pros:

You have some interesting things going on in the scene.

Grabbed my attention from the beginning.

 

Cons:

There seem to be missing elements and extra animation (timing) that don't contribute to the story.

 

Suggestions:

Examine the elements of your story and put your critic hat on.

As he crosses the street (assuming the part with the UFO crossing in front of him when he stops is a street) consider having more UFOs pass by while he waits. Maybe it's particularly heavy traffic on that day.

 

Where the robot slides in from the right. Are you going to animate the walk? If not you may want to modify the robot. He may not need feet if he doesn't walk.

 

You obviously have plans to refine so take my suggestions for what they are... just suggestions.

 

Keep it up!

Lol, i like the exaggerated bowing motion he makes at the end of the movie

 

Not a bad animation, I only would suggest that you do something with the big silver robot, instead of having him float along, really rigidly. And the little guy's walk cycle looks a little funky- his knees stick out to the side when he walks. That doesn't really matter too much for him, because he seems like a funky guy, but you might not want to repeat it for future characters.
