ohhh some of the animation in these were so impressive! Like the ball ad/mm one spinning WOW i've never seen anything of that effect before. Yay for Eragon though Arya so annoyed me in that film, she was my all time favourite character *along with Brom who was played fabulous* in the book and I really thought they ruined her. Anyway - nice job

I really liked the spinning ball one. Really liked it.

The Eragon ones were really good, and so was the pic with Jean Grey, Magneto, Wolverine and Storm, though I think you shouldn't have the two images switch quite so fast.

The ADMM ball going round and round was really cool, I've never seen anything like that before! But the text doesn't show up quite right for me, it's too far in the left corner for me to be able to read it properly. And perhaps it would make it easier to watch if it weren't that fast and if it was only the image of them dancing, but that's your decision. In any case, it really looked like they were dancing, which is an amazing effekt!

The effect on the dancing shot really was amazing. I liked them all, though the animations on some were a bit fast for me. I don't know if that was my PC or what! Great job!

That's neat work! I like the way you cropped this, leaving some 'soft' edge around the hair makes it look less shopped-off.

My suggestion to make your works even better would be first and foremost to shrink your images. I know it can seem like the quality diminishes, but trust me, it looks better if it is not too big. Even beautifully made banners can be annoying of they are too large.

It looks pretty nice! But you should work on your cropping a bit, it's good on the upper images, but the pictures on the bottom still have some rest of the background around them. You work would look a lot cleaner if you got rid of that.

What program do you use?

I would suggest, however, that you try different things to make the figures look less cut off at the bottom.

Your work is looking good, but I do have a suggestion to make them look better. Blend the images into the background, there is a layer blend option on GIMP (I use it a lot) and try other things as well. It'll make them seem less cut and paste onto the background. Also TigerLime's suggestion is also a good one.
