you're video is kinda messed up. Try downloading it. It might be corrupt, or compressed or something.

Hi equinox,

your video worked perfect for me.

And I really like it, though there is something that makes me wonder - it looks like it's going to be some kind of Softimage|XSI advertising spot (colour scheme, red ribbon)...!

But I still like it - good job!

Hey! That video is excellent! Love the theme.
Try to watch the ant´s legs movement, since at times she doesn´t feel anchoring to the ground. -More noticeable in the middle legs-

Video Worked fine for me.
Took David´s advice in some other post, and got me Zoomplayer, tried uninstalling WMP9, it´s still there. :S

Well i downloaded again, and let it loop a few times, my computer figured it out on the 3d play and it worked fine. Cool ant! And yes you do try at animating, keep it up.
