this was done for practice on a strong gust of wind, not supposed to loop.

I dont have a crit as such, but I think maybe it shouldnt fall so much when the wind drops, maybe try and keep it almost continuing but with varying strength in the wind?

just a though ;)

when the wind catches something thin and blows it up, it shud curl up instead of just shooting straight up and flat. also id recommend not using lines for motion and actually stretch and curl the whole flag, not bad tho

I think you could be more discriptive and elaborate on what you are trying to show. This is essencaily an excersise in moving mass in space too so try to keep it as dynamic as possible. Don't be afraid to be subtle either, remember you're building and releasing tention as the wind moves around the negetave space as eddies pull and contort the flag.

Thanks guys, your words really helped me out, i really tryed to keep it dynamic and use the curl and flick technique hope it worked:

The flag it self is looking good. The one crit I have is the way it snaps back from being fully extended by the wind. The snap makes it look like it's made of rubber.

there getting better but you realy should spend more time on them. Plan it out before hand. Also it would be good to bring some outside observation into these, go outside and find a real flag. Plan out what is gonna happen in this animation. In the bouncing ball you're making somthing that is loosing tention as it goes untill it reaches a stop. In the flag you're building up the tention over a longer space of time having some personality in the middle then releasing it . When the flag drapes it folds in on itself like a curtain. Again it's just a question of observing and thinking more subtly about what you want. At the moment it's still a bit fart in the wind. Try to make a finished piece of animation that you would use for a shot in a movie or a show reel.

Hey guys, did another, I wanted to make sure my last one wasn't a fluke or anything so yeah, heres another one that actually loops, and Sangfroid i will make a proper one soon hopefully, i'll make one as if i were animating for a company or for a movie of my own.:D

I can't seem to find a flag anywhere so i guess looking online for reference is an option or maybe holding up a curtain or simply opening my window will help me out lol:D
