This is an animation created to help describe visually some of the main effects of cutting down the rainforest. It took roughly 2 months to make and is just under 1 minute. Please vote and comment. Constructive criticism would be appreciated.
Hope you like it!

Wow, this is really good!
The animation is superb - the best I've seen in a long time, so congrats on that!
The drawing wasn't quite as good but it was still up to scratch. What I'd suggest is not to use separate gradients on the trees - if you DO want to use gradients and not go for good ol' shading by hand, than combine all the shapes together in one colour THEN fill it with a gradient - that will ensure that there's only 1 gradient for the whole thing.
Also, MORE DETAILS would have been welcome - cracks in the ground, marking on the trees, scratches / shading on the vehicles
And yes, I completely agree - a great moral message there, and some killer vehicle animation
Great work! And great use of sound too!
9/10, favourited. Really like this
Thanks alot Flashtoo and BluMess! Im really happy you liked it because I think this is my best animation to date and definatly the one i put the most work into. The reason i had little detail in this animation is because I was working to a deadline for a competition, My next animation will certainly have more detail because i can spend more time on it
Cool, sounds good
Honestly I think you have some real potential with your animating and drawing skills, it really is very good!
Good luck in future, will look forward to more of your work around here
Some more sound effects would be nice though.
Approved mainly because of the message and the good car animation
