Edited Final Animation!!

I have edited the periscope animation at the beginning to be more fast, which I think gives it a bit more character, and I have hanged the blue meanie's movement from rotating to moving backwards, which I think follows the force of the gun much better. Also I decided to stop the animation with the submarine staying put at the end to focus on the e4 logo - the theme and what is meant to be advertised.

Improvements

After completing the animation, I have taken note of some aspects of the animation that are not quite right. The positioning and the speed of the blue meanie as it comes out the hole and fires the glove, i'm not happy with, as the movement doesn't look smooth and natural.

I'm going to fiddle with the angle and the speed of the motion tweening until I'm happy with it.

I have also realised that the periscope and the blue meanie are lacking a bit in expression and movement that would make them appear more alive as characters. If the periscope was a bit more bouncy in popping up out the hole then it would appear a bit more lively. The blue meanie could possibly have a facial expression that changes to make it appear less static.

Having received the advice from my tutors to work on the animation I also want to stick to the style of animation which is very static and not particularly amazingly animated, but with artwork that gives the overall psycodelic effect.

I will look at these ways of improving my animation, but I will make sure that I don't change the style that I have portrayed effectively into something else completely.
