I recommend you watch this animation WITHOUT clicking "download". Only use the High Quality button if your computer has above average power. Medium or even Low quality is recommended.

Update 18/07/2012: Hello everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for the all of the positive feedback for this animation, I'm really overwhelmed with how well it has been received! I also wanted to apologise that I couldn't reply to EVERY comment and EVERY fave, since there were so many of you so quickly, and I was very, very busy with another animation around the time this was getting attention. So this is a small shout out to all of you whom I didn't get around to saying thanks to- THANK YOU!

So here it is at last! My first completed "true" solo animation project, created over a duration of 3 weeks for a college animation project.
It is 2 minutes 40 seconds in length (including credits), and features Sonic the Hedgehog speeding through various environments in different ways.
The animation uses a combination of hand drawn, frame-by-frame animation, tweens, and vector-art to create a fast paced, authentic Sonic the Hedgehog romp that I hope you will agree is also nice to look at.
The soundtrack is the classic version of "City Escape", featured in Sonic Generations.
I have worked hard on this, and now I just hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
