its impossible to render a 40 frame animated clip in any smaller..... the whole sig changes per fraME, since the tween = different opacity for the text and all the particles per frame... to put uit short, it is 40 diffrent pictures with huge diffrences pixel wise. I "can't" render it any smaller. I also see no poit on a size limit for a compitition like this... what point does it server if any ? Not like I am going to use this sig on a daily basis here...

while i do think the size limit should be maybe 600kb i dont think it matters, cause shorts shouldnt win this ..... anything over 600kb should fall under video IMO
The purpose is just to create an animated sig that remains within "decent" boundries in size. I'm 56k and I don't want to have to wait a half hour to flip through pages here.
Also low size pushes for creativity instead of special effects, and creativity is what the AA art area is all about. If that were not true Me and Judas would not be quite as popular as we are, and Anti would be banned..... oh wait.
