Learning, Always Learning

So, I decided to try and tackle learning Apple's Motion software. The program in Final Cut Studio that I haven't really seen a use for in my production projects to this point. But over the weekend a friend was walking my through some things he was working on and I decided that knowing how to use Motion would, at the very least, be a good back burner skill. So, I tried out some basic tutorials, with moderate success, and then tried a basic (very basic) rotoscoping project based on this tutorial which I found off a blog about the program. And while the matting is much easier in Motion, I still have much better success keying in Final Cut.
Anyway, here's the movie I was playing with. It's very rough and has no visual effects on the second half, mostly because it takes a long time to rotoscope in the effect (one frame at a time) and I have actual work that needs to be done. Also, I feel like I'm ready to move on to the next tutorial now, thanks.
