Okay critique my 6 seconds of work...

I did all of this with gimp & FCP. I would rather be doing it with photoshop in AE. Oh well. I think the snow/flower background elements should probably go, what do you think?

Thanks.

Either quicktime is being buggy or my server is acting up. Here is another link in case the first one isn't working:

Nice 3/5 stars from me, maybe 4.

Like the simplicity and design.

I like the idea. The vase looks very nice with the animated flowers. I would however change the background. Looks very very dull.

Lead with the flowers, not the stems. I agree that the bg isn't
working. Nice work though.

I would keep the "snow" and the flowers behind the title, as well as bringing the opacity up on the logo. When the "snow" and flowers go over the logo, it's a bit distracting.

Other than that, I dig it!

Scrap the background. Black reminds me of dead flowers. A pale color or pastel with a radial grad would work better. Also the animation is somewhat static. Motion graphics should move. A simple slow camera move in will make the scene less staic. Keep it moving.

Agreed on the background points. It distracts from your logo.

Very nice. I'm not familiar with Gimp or know what it is... I'll do a google after this, but I think the flowers need a more natural look of popping out. It needs an bounce expression or just something to make it "pop". Other than that... VERY NICE!

It was a nice little clip, I also agree there is too much backround stuff going on. I think the logo and the vase effect will do just fine with a nice backround color instead of black.

nice, but fill flat, add small rotation around Z axe, may be just 5-10 degrees.
And logo looks little bit small.
