An-duh-roy-dent! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Long time, no see-ee a submission from you, AE!---------->
I got pretty excited when I logged on and saw you had made something else. Granted, it's not the stylistic humor and colorful montage of uniquely drawn images you normally come up with, B--U--T you even said you made it for a friend.
You were very clear in your description, that this was specifically made for a friend and his (or their) project. Oh, as for that sound crackling; I THINK I know what it might be, too. Maybe when you were piecing things together in Flash (except for the lens flares, I know, Ha!) the bass and/or treble levels were a bit too high. Try clippin' down a wee bit on your trim, if you have that option. That has happened to me COUNTless times when I'm trying to do something, myself.
Anyhoo, GUH-RATE job on an intro more than well done. It looks VERY professional. I'm curious though. Did your friend ever say what this was gonna be? A game or maybe even a short movie or something? Hmmm. . . Either way, I'm so very happy to see you're still out and about here on NG. I thought for sure I would have lost you due to my absence, the past few months.
Can't wait to start collaboratin'. Until then. . .
.................Take care, be good and introduce.period
