I just want to let you know devianart keeps trying to delete the icon competition so if something is wrong that's why.....
the reason they're deleting it is because they think it is pay to enter which it is not!
hopefully whatever they deleted didn't make the donation money disappear or there will be no rewards!

Oh, thank you for telling me.

take your time! when the it's finished it will be a masterpiece!

Wow, this is really good~
I like how expressive your character's face is as well as the story you've animated. Kinda reminds me of when I get something from ikea~ lol
If I had any critiques it would be that the transitions between the black and white are a bit rough and might need to be smoothed out as to not make the viewer/user dizzy.
There's a lot of potential in this though~ I can't wait to see you next update

Don't worry, I saw the same thing with the transitions, until I add colors and not rush it, it should look more smoothed out.
Plus, thank you very much for the watch and compliment. OvO

Good to hear~
and of coarse, I can tell you put a lot of hard work into your pieces. 
Oh by the way, I was curious, How many frames have you made for this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't remember, but I know it passed 40 frames. Not that much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice~
I actually figured it would be somewhere around the hundreds this how much movement I could already see.
Thanks so much for participating in our little contest~ I hope you can enjoy yourself~

Thank you.
Also, I think the finished version should range around the hundreds.

I can't wait to see it~

Lets hope we get some more comments on your work soon

Yeah, also I should get another progress report done this week, mabye and I think I have redo this with the emoticons since I forgot to involve them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah it just needs to be animated, but if you would still like to include emoticons that would be great ^_^
I have to ask, what is actually happening in this animation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So basically, what's happening is that you know if you make a mistake, even if it's tiny, it completely ruins the result and you have to start over again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What have you prepared for the end of this animation?
What exactly happens in the last frame?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The last frames show the person missing a screw so the table falls and he looks over the cryptic looking institutions again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, so it loops perfectly does it
That earns you extra points you know that ^_^
Could I make a suggestion?
Though your animation does speak about the troubles of a programmer. one mistake like a missing screw or semi colon, equals big problems, I worry that perhaps it doesn't clearly identify that connection. In order to resolve any confusion that this animation is about computers, technology or gaming and any other techy thing in general. I suggest you add a computer to the equation.
Perhaps when he is done setting up the table he puts his computer on top it, and then he only notices the missing screw!?
Again I would rather you produce your own vision of art and not feel compelled to follow my opinion and views. I am not an artist and I do not know what effort you would need to make in order to add in those new frames, and how that might impact on your artistic vision
So please, do what you see as fit.
The work in progress is our opportunity as judges to leave our view as well as help artists along to what we may thing is best, but this is your work and your vision and we have yet to see what your end result will be
Good luck and thank you for the brilliant submission

Really?
Plus, feel free to make suggestions. I'll wait.

I've edited my post, so you just need to go back and read it
In the competition journal we speak about what the judges will be looking for and how we will judge your work
In it we speak about animation looping, and yes indeed there is a higher chance of winning the competition if you loop your animation

Alright then, don't worry about it. Once the second work in progress is submitted, I'll fix any mistakes and I'll add something related to technology to this one.

Cool
I'm not sure if any of my co founders will be commenting on your work soon, being that they are all in school, but at least your work is featured in two places so now hopefully commenters are about

Yeah, have to seen the instuctions for their furniture. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, nope! But I'm looking it up now!
I mean... it doesn't really look that hard... kinda reminds me of lego instructions, but I see how it could confuse people XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Try the more complex pieces of furniture. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and then all the screws... that'd be a nightmare XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think this is alot better than you think it is. Sure it's not done but it's idea is clear and even tho the frames are unfinished they still look like effort was put into making them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm still working on it and the next one should look smoother and redrawn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I look forward to seeing it! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but it'll take awhile since I have a lot of things for school to deal with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well take your time them. Do it at your own pace.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is based on peoples IKEA or furniture building experiences. TvT
Also, for programmers if they make one small mistake on coding.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Having dabbled in programming with Javascript and Flash, I can relate to this.
Looking forward to seeing the finished work!

Now that I look at it, some frames should get extended. :/
