Awesome tiny anim!!!

Thanks again for all the comments people!

@ Biffo: Imageready actually. Not the best software for animation really, but I've gotten used to working in it since I've been forced to use it in various projects before.

Great work.  Question:  What did you animate this in?

That is amazing. The lighting is soo good.

Wow! I love how you added a ship in the background as well. Stunning work, indeed.

Stunning=) Beautiful ship, nice animated - really great work.=)

thats the point i think... cause there shrimp....people

yeah I think I have to agree with Flyguy...
too good..

Oh my god. Favved.

I think this will be one of the winning pieces this week.

Wow, lots of feedback!

@ Emanu: I agree, it would have been cool. I thought of it, but then I decided not to do it, for reasons unknown. Maybe I just wanted to submit and get on with my work.
@ Lollige: It depends on your monitor.. I made it on my laptop which has a bright and crisp but not entirely color-true screen. They were visible on my CRT screen as well, but I guess they can be hard to spot on some monitors.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone

One of the most amazing piece i've seen for the weekly challenge.
Really nice animation and design.

Pretty much amazing.

Now it's a contest for 2ND place.

Really cool animation! I like the ship's design as well.

nice design

Schweet. I'll have to redo mine now. Beating this will give me a hard time ;) Good job!

I cant stop seeing this

Wow!  Nicely done.  I love the way you did the lighting on the ship during beaming, and during takeoff.

Awesome.

cant believe the way you put the red ligth going of the ship, it is so real!

fav'd!

cool! you shouldve given it a real huge blast from the engines though!

That's some really great entry full of nice elements still colorful and shiney with the limited palette. Good job!

cool animation!! sadly those people are only really visible if you zoom in :(

Cooool animation
Pixel wise, it could be a bit better, but hey, I love the animation! (4/5)

Awesome dude! I love the details, and the fact that you animated the ship in the background dropping/picking somebody up! Totally Sweet! This one is getting my vote!

Yup, nice animation. Only arguable thing is ship design which is still quite good.

damn...

it'll take alot to beat this.  great work
