Well, always had the idea of doing a nifty animated Tron-Sector link banner. I had an idea for one that I sketched out and had figured out. Well, sat down and finally made it. I think it's sloppy compared to the original idea I had drawn out on paper. Have mixed feelings about this animation. It was a challenge to make. Opinions?

I like the animation. My first thought was "cool!".
If you're looking for a detailed breakdown of thoughts, I'll offer this:
The animation is indeed cool and made me smile to see it. I like the style of it and look. The sense of depth to the animation based on movement perspective and the focus, re-focus works well. The composition of the imagery also works well and looks cool. As an overall animation of TRON and promoting TRON - it's eye-catching and cool looking.
The (pixel) size seemed too tall for a typical banner. I'm not familiar with all the (standard) banner sizes, so this may just be a case of me being used to the standard internet banners that are proportionally wider and not as tall.
The text "Welcome to the digital world." blends in with the background color some. It's not really difficult to read, but does blend in a little. "The fan site for everything Tron" text looks cool – I love the computer font you used. Should "Tron" be all caps though? I've always only ever seen it in all caps (even though I myself sometimes don't cap it all).
On the technical end - the file size is 330kb - a very hefty size for banners. On high-speed internet connections - no problem at all. For dial-up users it will take a while to fully load. This is where the cool factor meets the limitations of bandwidth - often one must give in favor of the other. I personally tend to side with a higher cool factor over smaller file size, but then again I have high-speed internet. When I was a dial-up user, long downloads were very annoying. I'd still download them, but I'm just really impatient.
I dig the banner and think you did a fine job on it. If it was a challenge to make, I'd say it was well worth the effort you put in.
You called it "sloppy" - I am wondering why you used that term? Is it a case of the artist noticing every little imperfection in his own work, or that the finished animation did not turn out as you saw it in your mind or on paper beforehand? Just curious.

I call it sloppy for both the reasons you mention Todd. I'll scan the concept storyboard and show it when I can. Compared to the storyboards, this animation doesn't incorporate all the elements I planed out. Course part of that is in what the image is actually made from. See, the animation that you see is compiled from fragments of the past "No Turning Back" Tron-sector Tribute image. Also used screen caps from the film. My laptop started gagging between switching between Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Image Ready. Once I got the movement solved and working, I decided to make a quick transition to the title and be done with it because I knew the file size was already high. I shunk the image size down to save file size. The original veiwing format is a bit larger. Looking at the concept sketch, if I had done everything shown, there's no telling how large the file size would be, thus eliminating any chance of it being used as a link banner.

Sketch - I can understand how you might be a little disappointed in your work if it fell short from it's original plan. The only really problematic thing with it right now might be just its file size - which is really only a problem for dial-up users. Aside from that, judging it for what it is (and not for what it may have been intended to be) - I think it's a fine work.
It seems your biggest enemy here is the format - GIF. It's not exactly an efficient animation format. It can be, depending on the type of animation, but the busier animations tend not to compress well unfortunately.
I bet you could produce your original idea in something like Flash AND keep it closer to your original idea AND keep it's file size manageable.
I'd be producing things in Flash myself... if I had a clue as how to use it. I tried teaching myself once before, 4 or 5 years back, and after several hours of getting nowhere, I realized I was in over my head. Oh well.
But I understand how it animates using layered images, coordinates, motion key frames, etc. And we've all seen some really cool Flash animations that were manageable on the file size end. It's much more efficient than GIF image format.
Just a thought
